VOICE OF TRUTH FOR TODAY
Too Many Options

Sometimes, having too many options can leave me completely stuck.

Whether it’s choosing what category to enter in a film festival—or something as simple as picking pudding at the store—too many choices can keep me from making any decision at all.
And honestly… life can feel that way too.
Too many emotions.
Too many thoughts.
Too many directions pulling at once.

I remember a moment with my mom at the post office, holding a package that contained my brother’s ashes. The weight of that moment was overwhelming—grief and humor colliding in a way only real life can bring.
Sometimes, we don’t know how to process it all.
But God’s Word brings clarity when everything else feels overwhelming.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience…” —Galatians 5:22–23 (NIV)

“And now… fix your thoughts on what is true… and worthy of praise.” —Philippians 4:8 (NLT)

When life feels like too much, the answer isn’t found in sorting through every option.
It’s found in returning to the One who is constant.

“I am the living bread that came down from heaven…” —John 6:51 (NIV)
When everything feels like “too many”… He reminds us He is the One.
