How much time and care do you take to make important life and family decisions?
Time spent in consideration
Coke or Pepsi? 1 second.
“Fries or fruit with that?” 5 seconds.
“Going to college?” 2 years +
“Chosen your career path?” 1- 20 years +
“Changing jobs?” 1 - 20 years
Buying a house now, or continue renting? 1 - 10 years
Have kids together? 15 minutes to 15 years
Starting your kids in pre-school or waiting until Kindergarten? 4 - 5 years +
Private, public or home school? 1 - 18 years
There are countless other life decisions and concerns we may have over health, finance and in some cases, safety or survival.
How about this… Let’s suppose we all have a soul…
What about eternity — what happens to your soul after you die?
What happens to your child’s soul?
How much time, thought and planning is appropriate to make sure that decisions are made about the state of our soul - and that of family…friends….kids… How important is this compared to how much time we’ve spent on any of the other life decisions listed above? How much “research” and studying have you done about eternity?
Considering that the eternity of a soul will far outlast the home or career we spend endless hours mulling over. “It can wait until later.” School doesn’t wait, careers don’t wait. Home purchases don’t wait.
“Fries with that?” “What is the state of my soul?” “What is the future of my child’s soul?”
It’s worth our time. It’s worth prayer. It’s worth asking the Creator of the universe.
