I know I have talked on this topic in the past, but it always bears repeating. (FYI, for an excellent devotional on the topic, click HERE)
Every time I pick up a paper, surf the net or turn on the news, I am inundated with images of people who "just don't get it." Why is it that people feel that there should no consequences to their actions? Since when can you jump out the window of a skyscraper and change your mind half-way down?
One of the first things I teach my children is that their choices have consequences. Sometimes our choices have consequences that are immediate - in the here and now. Other times the consequences are delayed (and may not take effect in our life time). But regardless of who you are, you can not escape the consequences of your choices.
The world is paying the consequences of greed. Too many people wanted to get rich at the expense of others (or even sanity). Some of you out there (the casual reader perhaps) contributed to this. Many of you did not but will still pay the consequences.
Do we bail them out or so we force them to accept the consequences of their choices? How far do we go to protect our own self interests? I suspect that for each of us the answer is different.
The ultimate choice of course, is what will you do with your life? The consequences to this choice reach beyond the grave.
blessings on your day
