“Deadlines and commitments, what to leave in and what to leave out”, is a line in a country and western song. It is about the fact that life gets more complicated as we move towards the conclusion of this journey. The more relationships we develop, the more room for error arises in making decisions. The more decisions made can multiply the number of decisions we’ll have to face later. Did you get that?
This is also true spiritually. The more years we have into this Christian experience, the greater the responsibility and the sharper the enemy’s attacks, but the stronger we should have become along the way.
James 1: 2-4
Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.
I hate to ask this question again, but did you get that? The stuff of life piles up and like Walter Cronkite would say, “And that’s the way it is.”
Give it some thought.
