📖 For which of you, wishing to build a farm building, does not first sit down and calculate the cost [to see] whether he has sufficient means to finish it?
Otherwise, when he has laid the foundation and is unable to complete [the building], all who see it will begin to mock and jeer at him,
Saying, This man began to build and was not able (worth enough) to finish.
—Luke 14:28-30 AMPC
Before we make any major decisions in life, we must count the cost. Before you build something, you must count the cost so that you can finish the project. Before you change jobs, you must count the cost. Before you get into a relationship, you must count the cost. We must be thorough thinkers. As we contemplate what decision to make, we must look at things from every angle and allow the Spirit of God to show us things that we may not have seen. When we yield to the leadership of the Spirit of God, we follow His lead knowing that He would not lead us astray. He would not lead us down the wrong path. We put our trust in Him, we will never be put to shame or disappointed in our expectations.
