the inspired-infallible choice

during the course of my life, especially in the past 6 years, i have prayerfully made decisions looking for the right choice that God has for me and my family. i have been looking for the inspired and infallible choice. over the course of these past years, God has developed in me that i should not worry over decisions. it is through my devotion to God and the way that i "worship" Him (in the since of Romans 12:1-3 worship...sacrificial, life surrendering worship) that the decisions i make will be the "right" decision.

the problem for me has recently lied in the fact that i have had more than one choice on the table that is a good choice. i figure in my continuance to draw near to God that i can just make a choice and it will be the inspired/infallible choice...the choice that God has for me.

i think God is stretching me in that.

without explaining the details (which you can find at ayoungslife.blogspot.com) i am discovering that there is probably not a choice that i could make that is infallible because i am not God. our call, as believers in Jesus Christ, is to "worship" God with our lives and make decisions while remaining sensitive to His Spirit. i wish it was as easy as it flows out of my fingers.

i have to rest in the fact that God is God and i am not. i have to rest in the fact that no matter how hard i pray, my choices are always subject to change...even when everything seems so perfect. i have to rest in the fact that God has given me His word to live in, friends to get wise counsel from, and He has given me my life to surrender to Him.

God take me...all of me...take me (or keep me) where you can use me most!
