DECISIONS DECISIONS DECISIONS

 

 

Psalm 32:8

 

 

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you." ESV

 

 

 

At times we are at a crossroad. Sometimes there are several different ways we could go. Which one do we choose? What if we make the wrong decision? We become confused, stressed, and unable to make a decision at all. When we look to our Lord and trust Him only, He will let us know which way to go. He doesn't play guessing games with us. Ask for discernment, wisdom, and open hearts. He will surely answer us when it is time.

 

 

Heavenly Father, forgive us for fretting when we have difficult and important choices to make. Forgive us for not fully trusting in You to provide us with the instructions we need. Give us open hearts and willing spirits to listen and obey. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

MAKING DECISIONS IN HECTIC TIMES

 

Luke 5:1

"One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. He saw at the water's edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets." NIV

"And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, and saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets." KJV

Jesus had such a way about Him that crowds of people pressed in on Him to hear what He had to say. They had crowded Him right up to the water's edge. He did not get upset or anxious. He simply took note of what was available and made an effortless decision to get into the boat that was sitting there empty. Jesus showed us that if we are people of prayer and the Word of God, we will be able to make good decisions regardless of what's going on around us. We can be in the most tumultuous and stressful of times and still think on our feet.

Heavenly Father, we stand in need of Your wisdom to make decisions in difficult times. Help us to hunger for Your Word and for more prayer so that we will be ready to make tough decisions when things are chaotic all around us. We pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.

GETTING DIRECTION

There will be times when we come to crossroads or major decisions
that will have far reaching impact on our lives. The Lord tells us we
are to choose the way of Christians who have gone on before us. They
have worn a proven trail that leads to peace and rest for the soul. Jesus
Christ took that road, walk the way He did.

Read Jeremiah 6:16

"This is what the Lord says: 'Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.'" (NIV)

"Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old
paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for
your souls." (KJV)
