Yogi Berra once said, “Prediction is very hard, especially when it is about the future.” And yes, that is the problem with resolutions. They have to overcome all the stumbling blocks that lay in that time yet to come.
He was just a little boy who wanted to sell his pottery. It helped to feed his family and all he needed was for the tourist to say, “Yes.”
But the tourist was trying to bargain, to drive the already low price down even farther and the little boy was saying for the third time, “I mean no disrespect, Sir, but I weigh my piece of pottery, calculate my time spent making it and that is the cost.”
Life is like that, isn’t it.
Every decision we make has to be weighed and we have to decide what the cost will be.
Sometimes we have made wrong decisions and hoped we would not have to pay the cost, but it cost every bit of pain and problem we knew it would…or gives that special joy and peace we felt it would. We usually can easily speculate what is coming after what we have just done or left undone.
Yes, and sometimes we have made right decisions, and though they may have cost us dearly in time and effort because their was sacrifice in them, we have given prayers of thanks for it was all worth the effort and the cost.
Of that we had and have no doubt.
“And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him” (Col. 3:17).
