Luke 14:28 "But don't begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it?"
My email daily devotion came in and there was this interesting angle to how we need to count the cost before we leap into doing anything for God. The parallel analogy is hilarious and I think I should use this every time, especially during Chinese new year, when the Christian folks bug me.
"Yet some people who set out to follow Christ haven't counted the cost, like couples who rush into marriage. Once you have made a marriage commitment, it is a lifelong commitment. And if you are not willing to make it, then do everyone a favor and stay single. Count the cost."
