Devotional Readinga Isaiah, 26 ~I-~
NOT' AIIL choices are worth los-
qhg sleep over. What tie ~hall
~sar today ? Shall ! drive to town
by'the old .road or the new road?
W,h'at shall I give Grandpa for his
birthday? The results of these
choices are not likely to be world-
shattering one way or the other.
Still, they might
be more impor-
tant than you
thimk. If you pick
the wrong tie, the
right girl may
turn you down,
for the reason
that anybody
who would wear
a monstrosity
like that couldn't Dr. Foreman
have much sense. If you take the
new road to town, some of the new
traffic may give you a funeral
sooner than you expected. And If
Grandpa happens to ~e very rich,
the wrong kind of present might
induce him to change hi~$Nvilk
Oooiolenz Determine D tiny
There are great choices in life
as well as small. Looking back over
a long life, an old man can see
where this decision or that changed
the whole direction of his life-
time. A. train crossing Missouri
approaches a little station where
it will not stop. There is a long
siding at that station, and it is
empty. The express train could
just as well be sent through the
station on the siding as on the
main track, they are both going
in the same direction. But coming
out of Union Station in St. Louis,
with its maze of switches--that is
another proposition. All trains
head out o~f that station in exactly
the same Way, but when they hit
th6se switches, they are turned
once for all--westward to the
Pacific Coast cities, or east to New
York~ or south to New Orleans. So
it is with life. Some decisions turn
life toward. $~ destiny of glory, or
of :misery o , , depending on ~he
choice . . o depending o~ the one
who chooses, It was so when Moses
said to his people: "I have set be-
fore you life and good, and death
and evil.., therefore choose good."
"Onoe To Ever}, end Nation"
'Once to every man and nation
comes the moment to decide,"
wrote James Russell Lowell in
what is now a well-known hymn.
"Opportunity knocks but once," is
an old proverb. Hymn and proverb
are partly true, partly not. When
an opportunity for decisiof~ has
been ignored, or when the wrong
choiee has been made (and ignor-
ing the choice entirely is itself a
wrong choice), that particular op-
portunity, that one decision, does
not come again. What one has lost
by wrong decision is lost for good.
Bu~ in the mercy of God there may
be other times. The nation of
Israel, to whom Moses made his
appeal to decide for God, again
and again had to make that same
choice: Who is on the Lord's side ?
When we think of how one gener-
ation follows another, we see how
true it is. Our forefathere may
have decided for God; but unless
we in our time face and act on
that same central choice; For God,
or against him? our ancestor's
good cholc~ will not help ua a
~at deal.
Ileekgronnd br Deeioion
~o choice, whether that of a
man or a nation, is made in a
vacuum, A man makes the good
choices, or the bad ones, of his life,
aga)~tst all ~he background of his
egrlier life, education and train-
