When the first two people walked the earth, God gave them the ability of choice. He made it clear what the consequences of their choices would be, based upon the simple act of eating or not eating a fruit.
When I fill up my car with gas, I have to select the grade from the many different ones available, and I have to decide on a station of the few which are usually clustered next to each other.
On a recent supermarket trip I had vanilla extract on my list. When staring at the spice aisle, I was confronted with many brands of the same item, and lingered for a minute or two, figuring out which one I really needed.
Although these are mundane tasks, they are indicative of the many choices that confront us on a daily basis. The effect of having all these choices can turn into time-consuming irritation and confusion, because this is a world entangled in Satan’s many diverse beliefs and ideologies.
The simple choice of right or wrong that Adam and Eve were given so many years ago, is still applicable today. Satan has given us a world of grays with no easy answers. The more time we spend in the avalanche of mundane choices, the less time we spend in the simplicity God has given us.
