choices have consequences

A-Rod held a press conference today and elaborated on his first interview with Peter Gammons. He admitted to taking a banned substance that enhanced the way he played the game. It is a sad reminder that our choices have consequences. Yes, there can be forgiveness, but the consequences may never go away. Before all of this came out, he was a first ballot hall-of-famer, and most think that he will go on to set the all time record for home runs. After his press conference, "the experts", don't think that he will ever make into the hall of fame now. Whether you like A-Rod or not, this is sad, but it is also a reminder that we need to make good choices DAILY.

It is a reminder to me that the choices we make every day are the most spiritual thing we do. Like it or not, our choices have consequences. We cannot escape the universal law of God that we really do reap what we sow (both good and bad).

Ephesians 5 says, "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is." (Eph 5.15-17)

Every day we come to forks in the road and we must ask ourselves, what is the wise thing to do? In light of my past, present, and future hopes and dreams, what is the wise thing to do?
