What if you get stuck between two choices?

Unfortunately, it's not always that easy to know what's right and what's wrong. Oh, there's no doubt about the "big" things, like murder and stealing and love and mercy. But sometimes it can be hard to know if a choice is right or wrong. A lot of the choices kids face can be pretty hard to figure out. If you're not sure something is wrong, should you go ahead and do it anyway? Or should you never do anything unless you're absolutely positive it's right? What if you get stuck between two choices and you have to choose one, but you don't know if either one is right?

Well, it's not necessarily a sin to do something that we don't know is wrong-or right. We can't know everything, and we don't have to assume that everything we don't know about is wrong. On the other hand, if you have doubts and think it might be wrong, you'd better make sure by doing these four things first: (1) Put off doing it; (2) pray about it; (3) search the Bible for direction; and (4) ask for advice from your parents or from a Christian friend you trust. If you still can't determine what's wrong or right, steer clear of it. It's better to not do something that would have been OK than to do something that is wrong.

Remember, too, that God wants you to choose what is best, not just avoid what is wrong.
