Here’s a great story that has made the rounds. It’s about who has the final say.
A sales manager and two of his sales reps are walking to lunch one day when they come across an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie appears, saying, “I’ll give each of you just one wish.”
One rep is quick to speak up first. He says, “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Poof! He’s gone.
The next rep speaks up. “I want to be fishing in a stream in the Colorado Rockies.” Poof! He’s gone.
The genie turns to the sales manager and says, “Your turn.”
The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”
It makes a difference who has the final say, doesn’t it? The question is: who, or what, will have the final say in your life today? Will your choices today be driven by ambition, revenge, or mere whim?
Or will the Word of God have the final say?
