Decisions, decisions, decisions. Who really likes making them anyway? For some people they come naturally. Yet for others, a trip to the dentist office would be an easier endeavor. But we all face them. Every single day we’re each confronted with multiple decisions that have to be made. Some are rather simple like “Should I really brush my teeth?” While others, “Should I quit my job?” have a little more impact upon our lives. But regardless of what they may be, our decisions shape who we become as individuals.
As I sit in my office preparing to write a Father’s Day sermon I’m quickly reminded of all the decisions that not only fathers have to make but all parents. We are bombarded every day with decisions that not only affect our lives but the lives of our children and families. And I feel that because of society, when we as parents are trying to follow Jesus, those decisions become even harder to make. Though following Christ is filled with blessings and joy that I would never trade away, no one said it would be easy. But I find myself wanting what is easy. I wrestle with giving in to the easy road when things don’t go my way or what I expect to happen. Easy is always more comfortable and filled with less headache. But I have to stop and ask myself, “What do my kids see in my decisions? When I run from things that get hard and choose the ‘easy road’ what kind of character does that build in my sons or daughters?”

Fortunately, I’m reminded that Jesus tells us in Matthew 7:13-14,
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
A couple weeks ago I preached that if we are going to be a church that lives out the mission of God then we as individuals need to be first and foremost absolutely committed to Christ. If Christ is first in your life decisions become easier and the little things that bother you won’t matter as much. If Christ is first you will do things for him that you would never do for someone else. Even though others want to pull you over to their side of the road, when Christ is first, making the decision to choose the narrow gate, though it may seem harder, becomes easier because you know where it leads, and you, your family, and those around you will be better off because of your decisions.
