SOMETIMES it is easy to choose, and sometimes it is very hard. I think I would have a hard time choosing between an orange and a banana, for I like them both. One day I offered our little girl the choice between a penny and a dollar. Would that be easy or hard? Oh, I’m sure she chose the dollar, you are thinking. No, she chose the penny. It was a clean shining penny, but the dollar was crumpled and dirty, and didn’t look as valuable as that shining penny; so her little hand reached for the penny, and the choice was made. You smile at her foolish choice, but now I must ask you some questions, and we shall see if you have made any foolish choice yourself.
Have you found it hard to choose whether to go fishing or go to Sunday school? Have you found it hard to choose between reading your Bible, or reading some foolishness? And here is the greatest question of all. Have you chosen to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour? or . . . What else can you think of that would be a better choice? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Do put aside everything else that may seem to you to be so very important, and accept right now the Lord Jesus Christ as your own Saviour.
