Someone estimated that we make 35,000 decisions per day. No wonder we become mentally exhausted. Some decisions are somewhat minor, but others have long-term impacts. On what basis do we make these decisions. Sometimes, it is just basically necessity. But many times, we make decisions based upon what pleases us at the time. Making decisions based upon selfish motivation will often keep us from making the best decisions.
Mark 10:21 says, “And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, ‘You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.'” Is there something that is holding you back from wholeheartedly loving God and following Jesus? Is it worth keeping this thing in your life, but then missing out on the fullness of joy, love, peace, salvation, redemption, and hope that fully walking with Jesus by faith brings to our lives?
