This week’s Five Minute Friday prompt is DECISION

<><><><><><><><><><>

According to a quick internet search, we make approximately 35,000 decisions each and every day. Of course, some are based on habit, like pouring our morning cup of coffee.

The most important decision a person can make is to follow Jesus. Each day, we choose whether to follow God’s plan for our day or to take a different path.

The chorus below brings up memories of church camp and revivals. It speaks to me of how we must STAY connected to God at all times. How about you?

I HAVE DECIDED – Public Domain

I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
No turning back, no turning back.

So take this whole world, but give me Jesus;
So take this whole world, but give me Jesus;
So take this whole world, but give me Jesus;
I won’t turn back, I won’t turn back.

Though I may wonder, I still will follow;
Though I may wonder, I still will follow;
Though I may wonder, I still will follow;
No turning back, no turning back.

The world behind me, the cross before me;
The world behind me, the cross before me;
The world behind me, the cross before me;
No turning back, no turning back.

Though none go with me, still I will follow;
Though none go with me, still I will follow;
Though none go with me, still I will follow;
No turning back, no turning back.

Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
No turning back, no turning back.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. – Matthew 16:24 NASB1995
