The Choice

Ecclesiastes 7:25-25
So I turned my mind to understand, to investigate and to search out wisdom and the scheme of things and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the madness of folly.



               Spending time with GOD is essential,just like breathing air. We need it for survival.  When we don't breath air, we run the risk of the brain losing oxygen. Bad things happen. The same occurs when we don't spend time with our Creator-bad things happen to our brain.
               What am I doing if I'm not spending time with GOD? Spending time on Facebook-a social network. How ironic,seeking to spend time seeking some one's approval. That's what Facebbok is,isn't it? We look to have social interaction with other people via the Internet. We want to seek some one's approval other than GOD.
              GOD wants to interact with us. Yet, he gives us a choice.
               He gives us a choice to do what we want and we take full advantage of that every second of every day, whether we realize it or not.
               I have the choice to spend time on my knees,praying to my Father,or spending time  on my bottom in a comfy chair, surfing the web. I have the choice of spending time in the Bible,learning and potentially growing from reading God's good word. Or,I can spend time reading the latest Jack Reacher novel. The Choice is mine.
              Choosing what we do with our time is a gift from GOD. I pray that I choose wisely how I spend my time, not only on a daily basis, but on a moment to moment basis.
              Remember, the power of choice can make you or break you. It's down to who and what we choose. What do you choose?
