Decision-making is hard for me! I take so much time weighing the pros and cons, and then I still put off making hard decisions, sometimes because I know that I will have to let go of something that I have been hanging onto, or stop working with someone that I really like.
This morning, I sought God once again about a decision that I have been putting off. I asked him to give me a sign that I should give up a commitment that I have. He brought a woman I have never met before into my path who confirmed what God wants me to do! His additional wisdom for me was that until I am willing to give this up, I will not receive what he really wants to give me!
Are you hanging onto roles or commitments that you know you should probably give up, but don’t want to have to follow through and tell someone that you will no longer be doing it? Maybe it’s because you are a people-pleaser at heart, like me and you know people may be disappointed in you. Or you are afraid, like me, that if you give it up, you will feel empty inside? It’s hard to trust God to fill that emptiness with something better!
God is a generous giver of wisdom, like the truths that he showed me this morning, but wisdom is only as good as the implementation of it! When I ask God for wisdom, I need to be willing to do what he tells me to do!
Father God, thank you for being such a wise father who wants to give only good things to his children. Please help me to release whatever I am hanging onto today, trusting your wisdom to replace it with something better. Amen.
Throughout this Day: Ask God for wisdom regarding a decision that you need to make. When he shows you what to do, don’t put off implementing his wisdom because you are afraid. Trust that he wants to give you something even better, if you are only willing to let go.
