Whose company do you prefer?

May 21, 2017 Features / Columnists, Food For Thought

We all have our ‘own company’. It’s where we feel most at home, where we naturally gravitate to when we have the choice.
A religious leader once said, ‘The important thing about a man is not where he goes when he is compelled to go, but where he goes when he is free to go where he will.’
The clear choices of life—not the compulsions—reveal our true character. Let’s consider a real–life illustration. You’re absent from church on Sunday. Where are you? If you’re having surgery, your absence reveals that you’re compelled to miss church due to hospitalisation. However, if you’re on the golf course, that tells us a different story. Assuming that you’re not on a well–deserved vacation, we know that you chose to skip church in favour of your ‘own company’—your fellow golfers.
Has your choice to play instead of to pray become a habit?
Habits are not the product of one decision—they’re the result of repeated choices that eventually become automatic responses. How can you know your true spiritual condition? By the company you keep and the choices you make. When you’re free to go, where do you choose to go? Whose company do you prefer?
