January 27, 2022 - I remember the days before televisions had remote control (I was my daddy's remote control) and you had a dial that had twelve numbers on it that changed the channels. Often, during a live program, as they went to commercial the announcer would say, "don't touch that dial, we'll be right back." That was their way of teasing you to stay tuned to their program. The choice was entirely ours, however, it is impossible to watch two programs at once on the same television.
Our lives are like that. Every day brings an unending procession of choices that come our way. Things that demand a decision. We face temptations. Storms come into our lives. The kind of person we are and the kind of person we become depends on the way we deal with those storms and temptations.
A choice for God, a choice for living His kind of life today makes it easier for as to live for him tomorrow. It was Joshua of old who said, "Choose you this day whom ye will serve. . . . but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" (Joshua 24:15). We must make the decision that we will serve the Lord, that we will live the way God wants us to live. Then, once we have made that choice, "don't touch that dial!"
It’s something to think about… tbp
