There is so much to research
When making decisions
So many options to weigh.
We don’t just go and do,
Decide and like
First we search all night and all day.
Before buying a house
We research our credit score,
Get our mortgage preapproved
See what we can afford.
We save for down payments
And review closing costs
All before our first bid,
So no money is lost.
We perseverate.
We investigate.
We deliberate-
We do not quickly decide.
An investment as big as a house,
Should not be made in one stride.
Or imagine a king
Wishing to go off to war
“Get ready your armor”, he shouts
“Sharpen the blade of your sword”
Wait! He must wait! There is much to discuss
To debate; Premeditate.
Before the battle-is a must.
Would he not first sit down and meet round a table
Discussing their chances of woe?
Would he not first calculate the size of each army?
Before deciding to stay or to go?
For if he does not first look
At what may be ahead
Thanks to poor calculation
His men, His Kingdom, Himself
May all soon be dead!
Now of greater importance
Than either of these things
Is the choice of WHO GOD IS
And what that choice brings.
Don’t be quick to decided,
Give your life or
Say your prayer.
Understand the risk,
Understand the cost,
And then go on from there.
