STOP AND THINK Choices, not chance, determine destiny. (From a church sign board)
Some folks like to leave everything to chance. “What will be will be,” they say. However, experience teaches us all too quickly that our choices really do determine what happens. Choices have consequences, so we must be wise and careful when we choose.
Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. (Proverbs 8:10-11)
