I am sure that you have heard that saying before. And I am even more certain that there have been times in your life when you have found yourself in a similar predicament. What does a person do when he/she finds themselves between a rock and a hard place? When you must choose sides? When you must come to a crossroad? When you must decide?
Life is filled with choices. And all choices have definite consequences.
Money --- save it or spend it?
Job --- take it or stay where I am?
Marriage --- work it out or walk away?
America --- love it or leave it?
Truth --- give in or stand tall?
Religion --- believe in Christ or not?
Church --- serve or be content on the outside?
When I have found myself between a rock and a hard place, the first thing I want to know is: what God says about it? What does Scripture teach? What is the best way to go forward? He alone is omniscient and knows my future.
Secondly, I pray for wisdom and strength.
Thirdly, I may talk to a trusted friend.
Lastly, I “cogitate” on it a little. Think about it. Roll it over in my mind.
Then, I make my decision and move forward, knowing that I have done my best!
