Decisions.
We make them every day but sometimes, they are tough.
Billy Donovan's recent decision/indecision about coaching the Orlando Magic is a great example.
Donovan is the head coach of the University of Florida Gators. Coach Donovan has led Florida to back-to-back national championships in college basketball. As a result, he has been a hot commodity in the coaching ranks this off-season.
Last Thursday, he agreed to be named the head coach of the Orlando Magic. But shortly after being named, he began to experience regrets. It was then he realized he really didn't want to leave Florida. So, he contacted the Magic to express his regrets and to let them know he had experienced a change of heart. Simple enough, right?
Not quite.
For a couple of days now Coach Donovan and the Magic have been "negotiating" to allow him to get out of his contract. Last night, there was a news report that a deal had finally been reached. My guess is that when this is all over, Coach Donovan will make a decision to be very, very careful the next time he has to make a major decision.
But, he's not the only person who has made a decision and then, had a change of heart. It's just a reminder of the difficulty involved in making decisions.
The scripture says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct Thy paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Today, in making decisions, lean on the Lord.
