Choosing Wisely
Choosing Wisely
Dr. Jim Martin
The ability to choose is a wondrous thing,
A sense of freedom to you it will bring.
The use of your mind it will require,
If success is that to which you aspire.
It has often been said that when you fail to choose,
You choose to fail and thus you lose.
To choose the wrong, though, you will often find,
Is to again wish that you had used your mind.
The best choice is often difficult to discern,
Many hard lessons must sometimes be learned.
The easy way often seems to be the best,
This often results, however, in much unrest.
The wisdom of Solomon would surely be nice,
In avoidance of failures, heed some advice.
Wisdom from God can easily be yours,
As on His terms you simply procure.
