WHEN IN DOUBT, THROW IT OUT

The title above is a slogan often used in the recycling industry. Seems like it could be used in our everyday spiritual life as well. 

For those times when you don't know which road to take, way to think, words to say, or thing to do,  remember: "when in doubt, throw it out." 

You have two choices. Would my thought, word, or deed fit more into the world's "bin," or in God's "bin"? God's "bin" is always the better choice when confronted with a perplexing situation. It is better to be safe than to cause adverse effects by following what others deem to be right. 

Just like that plastic bag or plastic cup, without absolute knowledge of right versus wrong, simply make the inconclusive, but seemingly better, decision to follow the path of God and place the situation in His "bin". 

God of unfathomable knowledge, lead me to always choose You. Amen.
