Making choices
I walked around Woolworths buying my weekly groceries. I saw the avocados and went straight to them. At $2.89 each, they were dear. However, in they went, into the shopping trolley.
The avocados tasted fine and no harm was done. But it made me reflect on the way I made decisions in life. I did want to follow God’s leading – most of the time! Usually, I asked Him what He required of me.
But there were other times, when I made a quick decision and suffered the consequences. I remembered the time I scolded my son before considering what he was saying. ‘Ouch’! It made me feel guilty – rushing into judgment and hurting his feelings. I should have listened to him first!
Why did I not stop to consider what God required of me?
“Choose My instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold” Proverbs 8:10 Are our choices weighed in the balance of God’s wisdom?

Shortly
afterwards, I stepped into Foodland, a neighbouring supermarket. Reaching
the fruit aisle, what did I see? Avocados abounded there too, but oh dear…
they were much cheaper. And larger too! “Too bad”, I thought, “I should
have compared prices, before buying them’. Now I had to live with the choice
I’d made.
