​The Days Beyond

I had been compelled severally to put up this writing but each time I keep hearing a voice ” there’s but more than this” and that kept me prolonging this.

Well, while I accept the certainty in that fact because of the momentarily changes of life; I believe this will be both a relief and guide while more changes evolve.
There’s absolutely more to life than just what is obtainable today or from a positive estimations of tomorrow. Perhaps that’s an assurance to the echoing words of the voice. While we often try to resolve issues that ‘most’ likely affect us at the moment, we most times consider but lightly its cause and effect in the nearest future. A positive result of course is never a second thought in anticipation. That’s not to say the reverse is unlikely, but its not at all the case here.

The expectations here is something far better than likely to be achieved.

Let’s look at two positive options that if rated are found on the same scale. On momentary grounds, having no idea of what morrow holds and which will likely pay more, every reasonable person will consider the immediate benefit of either and that’s likely the choice.

Below are two areas paramount for consideration amongst youth especially as it becomes the day’s order: The choice to settle or to strive further.
Average number of graduates(first or second degree holder) with a good job or entrepreneurial skill may not consider another option to marriage. The idea might just be to settle with a good partner( helpmate- I’m referring to both parties now, not like the reference from Eve to Adam Gen 2:18) to achieve greater dreams.

Of course a lot will certainly come to play while making this choice. Either as stated above, or the rush to settle in order to avoid being the last man standing(desperation), or to put off some bug(s) under your clothing, or the consideration to other physical factors as the case may be. The fact is, a Choice is reached; whose consequence might be: negative, partly negative, partly positive, positive or extremely positive.

Did you notice I intentionally ignored a least option( deadly negative)? That’s because its a choice which none will expect but that’s the case most times. Of course each of these results, depending on the decisions/action of either or both party.
While there are good number to consider the former option, there exist also reasonable number to consider latter.

The choice to strive further might just be to have a giant stand, improve on self, be advantaged then…or might seem to be pride, selfishness, lust, delay and others as may be interpreted. But whatever motive its driven on or perceived to be, the pertinent thing is making a good & lasting decision to avoid any of the low consequences listed above.

Yet the chances are there for a far greater height to be achieved in both cases not withstanding the impediments or limitations peculiar to each.

This implies thorough and critical decision making. In fact like the words of a friend, ” a sense of direction is required at every moment” and patience to avoid desperation notwithstanding our immediate circumstance.

In the words of Uncle Paul ” We can rejoice too, when we run into problems and trials for we know they’re good for us and help us learn to endure” Rom 5:3

An affirmation from Uncle James says ” Let your moments of trouble be an opportunity for joy…” James 1:2 NLT
For when we know our troubles and afflictions( our present determinants) are but for a moment, we may patiently endure them.

Oh! If only we can see the joy & glory this affliction will bring for us, perhaps we may teach others endurance, we may teach others patience, we may teach others perseverance.

For our present afflictions/troubles are quite small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us an immeasurably great glory that will last forever.

So we don’t look at the troubles we can see right now; rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen. For the troubles we see will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever. 1Corinth 4:16-18.

So whenever you decide between conflicting options, be sure you don’t have to regret later.
Have you a choice?

Have you made the right one??

Can you follow it up???

Can it produce you maximum result compared to that you dropped????

Then…
