A Fork in the Road

 When your life hands you a fork what do you do with it? That is not usually the saying, the saying usually is when life hands you lemons what do you do with them? Well we might not realize it but we might actually get more forks handed to us than lemons. Forks are those times in life when you have to make a decision and whether you choose left or you choose right neither one is wrong. Yet we can agonize for days over decisions like these. Weighing the pros and cons sometimes doesn't even make a difference. The more we try to fill up our fork hoping it will make the decision for us ultimately ends with us still having to make a decision. Even praying about it doesn't even bring more clarity because we serve a God that has given us a free will, and whatever decision we make, thanks to His Grace and Mercy, might not be a "right" or a "wrong" decision. Don't get me wrong there are definitely "Forks" that will alter your life but most of our decisions if we are doing our best to obey God and His Word will keep our focus on Him. So when you are handed one of these forks the only question to ask is  "will whatever decision I make continue to fulfill what I know God has called me to do?" If your answer is yes than go for it either decision will get you there. If your answer is no then say no and be at peace with it, another fork will come along soon enough. So when life hands you a fork what are you going to do with it? Celebrate fulfilling His calling on your life and all decisions will become much easier.

  1. Was talking to a friend about this very thing!It's not always that if/when we choose one or the other it's the wrong choice-God says "Choose one I will use it for my glory!" Hallelujah!
