YOU HOLD THE POWER OF DECISION IN YOUR HAND

YOU HOLD THE POWER OF DECISION IN YOUR HAND

What makes one do and another do not. It is not until you face a major decision that you understand how much power you hold in your hands at the point of decision. To understand the full power of decision, imagine a car in which you are the driver.  

As the driver, you have the power to make the car go where you want it to go.  You choose the streets, lanes highways and byways to take you to your goal. If for any reason you choose to go back where you came from, you will never get to your goal. If for any reason you get lost, you may not survive to make another decision. If you make a wrong turn, you could face danger. If your are careless you may never reach where you want to go. If you make correct turns, you come closer to where you want to go. Now replace the body of the car with your own body and give yourself a driving test. How effective have you been at getting to your goals?  Failure to reach your goals may be a question of your driving skills.

The good thing is that you have the power. You control the power and you make the power work for you. As you think about getting home from work, you will realize there are no "little" turns or "big" turns. Only the right turns get you home. There is no such thing as big decision or a small decision. All the decisions you make in life result in the outcome. There are no little sins or big sins, they are all sins and the all count toward the goal. A little turn can make you miss the goal just as much as a big turn can get you home. Big sins can make you lose as much as little sins. A small decision can make you win, just as much as big ones can make you lose. Such is the power of decision you hold in your hand.
