Are you living with options?

Coffee with Carole

For most of us we believe that it is good to have options. Our world tells us that we should keep our options open...like a foot in the door. But, have you ever tried to reach something inside the house while your foot is in the door? Not easy to do. Sometimes, it is impossible to get what you want until you take your foot out of the door and go inside.

Many of us live our lives like this in our jobs and relationships. We live with a temporary attitude. "if it doesn't work out," we say, " I can always leave." Temporary means to last for a limited period of time. When we have a temporary attitude about our job or relationship, we are saying that it isn't going to last. This attitude will always leave us searching for peace and happiness. However, when we commit, take our foot out of the door and remove all options from the table, we experience true, lasting peace.

God tells us that He will give us a way out if a situation isn't going well. We don't need to look for it! (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Let's change our attitudes to permanent and committed and let God handle the details of things. Trust that He will move you when it is time. You don't need any options when you have Him. His next step will always be perfect and will always bring peace.
