Dumber paths?


Dumber paths? I once believed buying the cheapest items was always the smarter choice, thinking they might last as long as the pricier ones. For years, I focused on saving money upfront, rarely considering that two cheaper items could ultimately end up costing more than one higher-quality item. Unfortunately my approach didn’t help me achieve my goal of saving money in the long run.


Think about it. As I grew older, I realized that my focus on cheap options often led to poor choices. Perhaps quality IS often more cost-effective than quantity?


God’s Word: “The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.(Proverbs 14:15).”


Stop and think for a moment. Are you part of a cycle of dumbing down because it feels like the easy way out? It's crucial to recognize that the easiest path isn’t always the wisest. The best way to live your life is to make thoughtful choices about where you dedicate your time and energy. Sometimes, opting for convenience can lead to greater challenges later. Reflect on your choices today to ensure a healthier tomorrow.


We pray. “Heavenly Father, grant us the wisdom to be prudent in our decisions. Help us to reflect thoughtfully on our choices and dedicate our time wisely, avoiding paths that lead to burnout. May we always seek Your guidance in our lives. In Jesus' name. Amen.”


“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matt 6:34)
