You Can’t Decide Not to Decide
“Thomas said to Him, ‘Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’”
John 14:5-6

Ponder This
What will you do with Jesus? This is the most important question.
It is a present question, and it is a personal question. It is not about what somebody else is going to do with Jesus. Very personally, you are going to decide what you’re going to do with the Lord Jesus Christ. It’s a very pertinent question; your destiny hangs on your answer. It is a pressing question; you will answer. You may say, “Nope, I’m not going to answer that question.” Oh, yes, you will. You will answer the question one way or another. You say, “I’m not going to decide.” You just decided not to decide and that was your decision. It is inescapable and unavoidable.
Everybody who lives will accept Him or reject Him, confess Him or deny Him, crown Him or crucify Him. Nobody can be neutral. You will do something with the Lord Jesus Christ.
- What will you do with your relationship with Jesus today?
- How would your life change if you asked yourself this question every day?
Practice This
Pray and ask God if there is someone you need to ask this essential question.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
