REACTION TIME

Ready?

Ever play that game where someone holds a stick just cenimeters from your open hand and the object is to see how quickly you can grasp the stick once its released?

The exercise is designed to measure your REACTION TIME.  Have you heard of it? Its the amount of time it takes for you to make a proper response to some occurrence.  Many apply it to Martial Arts or sports like baseball, but today, I want to apply it to life.
With so much going on these days, there are many things that can occupy our attention, but are you paying attention to the BIG PICTURE? 

I want to speak, not on the speed you react, but on HOW you react.  Believe it or not, when it comes to right or wrong, there is no middle choice.  You can make imperfect "good" decisions but that is simply you being a work in progress.  Just like in martial arts or sports, you have to make practicing determinations on how you will react to the daily stuff, but that hinges solely on your BIG PICTURE DECISION.  

Some people have made this decision and live it to the fullest every day...right or wrong.  Many of us however, are at the CROSSROADS everyday being indecisive.  God respects a cold heart more than one in-between.  Think about it, God doesn't have REACTION TIME issues, he sees everything coming, He controls how it comes.  We duck and dodge, peek around the corners...looking over our backs because we don't know what's going to happen. 

NOW is our time to ACT.  NOW is the time to REACT.  God is doing His business RIGHT NOW and He wants you involved.

HOW WILL YOU REACT?
