I am seldom impressed by television commercials, but one has grabbed my attention. It's a new car commercial presented by hamsters. Yes, you heard me right, hamsters. They are promoting the KIA Soul and it’s the jingle that's so catchy! Watch it now if you have never seen it. The rapping hamsters declare, "You can get with this, or you can get with that," but it's the comparisons you must contend with. When they sing “You can get with this...” you see the new KIA Soul. When they say “You can get with that...” you see two hamsters in a box or toaster. Who wouldn't want "this" rather than "that”?
The Holy Spirit is singing the same jingle to us every day. As our guide, He constantly is revealing the effects of choices in my life (John 15) . Simply put, I can choose life or death, blessing or curse, power or defeat, truth or lies. My free will is truly mine. All the Holy Spirit can do is remind me of what the Word of God has said is mine, depending on my choices.
Like so many others, I often make my choices and later think about the consequences. Spiritual maturity teaches us to think first before we act. How many difficult situations would have been different in my life IF only I would have had the singing hamsters’ jingle in my head showing me the comparison, "You can get with this or you can get with that..."?
I will choose only those things that perfect my SOUL!
I'll meet you at the Throne,
