Decisions

It's late, but that's when my brain tends to think deeper.

I had been fasting and praying, which concluded at the prayer gathering at the Deltaplex Saturday night. The purpose was two-fold. The secondary purpose was to seek the Lord's will in my up-coming major life decisions. I had a small list of options of what I could do after my internship is over this summer. The small list rapidly became a long list.

I was earnestly asking the Lord to make it clear which option would be best. Because I honestly want His will for my life. In other words, I was hoping He would narrow it down to one somehow.

The Lord taught me something in those days. I think that God delights in letting us decide. If the option will bring glory to God, our motives are pure, and the door is open, then it's within God's will. I think we tend to make these decisions harder than they need to be. I simply need to examine my motives in each option to make sure they are pure, and then pursue the option I want most. If God does not want me there, I trust that he will close the door.

Full time ministry, ready or not, here I come.
