A Little Test
James 1:2-3; 2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
On my way home, I waited in the train station for about twenty minutes. I like to enter the train station and get directly on a train. Since I haven't taken the train recently, my timing was a little off. With those twenty minutes of free time, I roamed around looking at all the food options I had available. So many of them looked good and I was a little hungry. Since I had a meeting at church to attend, I rationalized that I could get something now. I may not have enough time before church. I looked at the butter cover pretzels, moved to the popcorn, checked out the frozen ice and then the ice cream. As I tried to decide what would be the best decision, I knew that none of these options were truly good. The fact that I'm a part of the Gospel Fit Challenge did help guide me. What should I do? WWJD? Leave the scene and leave the food behind. Fortunately, the train was coming into the station. I headed to my seat and avoided the food. I passed this little test and am better prepared for the next time.
