The word decision implies that you are choosing one thing over a whole lot of other things.

In fact, in the very essence of the word means cutting.

By virtue of your decision making, you have eliminated all the other options. If you decide for something,

it means that you are cutting out those options in favor of that one for which you have

decided. And that is what making a decision means. And that is precisely why there are many indecisive people today.

Because they do not want to cut out other options.

Today there are people that basically want to go three different directions all at the same

time.

It must be painful.

They even read about the horse that died between two bales of hay, because he couldn't

decide which one to eat from first.

Years ago there was a speaker who always wanted to basically bring the point home.

And so he began his speech always with a question of his audience.

He would ask, he say, there were three frogs on the log.

The first frog decided to jump in the pond. How many frogs were left on the log? If you think

to, raise your hand. That's what most people did. And he would say, wrong, wrong. Not two,

three. Because the frog that decided to jump off the log never actually left the log.

And there are so many people who decide in their heads and never follow through on their decisions.

So many people actually make decisions, but they never take action steps to implement these decisions.

And the reason for that is because we do not want to cut out all the other options.

Yet the Bible urges us to be decisive when it comes to our eternal future. The decision we make

here and now will determine where we'll spend our eternity, where we'll spend our forever.
