What To Do?
Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. In this walk of life we are confronted with many different crossroads along the way. That fork in the road, where we have to choose which path to follow, isn’t always an easy choice to make. Where do I go from here? What should I do next? What will happen if I make the wrong choice?
I’m at one of those points right now in my life. I wrote a little about my job situation a few columns ago, and I’m really coming up to the place where I have to decide, one way or another, what I should do. Do I stay where I am at? Or should I step out and try something new? With the economy the way it is, it’s a scary thing to be unemployed. But it could also be a good opportunity for me to pursue something else.
I wish I had the answers. If we always had the answers though, I think our trust in God wouldn’t matter as much. In the good times and in the bad times God has always been there for me. No matter what challenge has come my way, He’s always been there to help me get through it. I’ve always tried to make decisions based upon where I thought He was leading me, and now more than ever I need to do the same.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5)
I do trust in God. I do trust that He has His hand upon my life. I do trust that He’s going to open the right door for me. I think one of the hardest things to do is to wait upon God. I’m the kind of person that wants to figure things out. I want everything to make sense. The logical choice would be Option A over Option B, so that’s what I’ll do. God doesn’t always work like that, though. Sometimes we have to take a blind leap of faith and just trust that He is in control.
The great men and women in the Bible all had to trust God and take that leap of faith at different points in their lives. David chose to fight Goliath when all of Israel was in fear of the giant. Noah built an arc in the desert. Peter took a step out onto the water. Abraham left everything behind to follow God to a new country. And the list can go on and on.
I guess I’m really trying to convince myself in this column what I should do. I don’t want to make a decision based upon what I see. I want to make my decision upon what God has for me. I’d appreciate it if you have a little time in the next couple of days, if you’d say a little prayer and ask God to show me what to do.
I really struggled with writing this week because I don’t write this column necessarily to broadcast the “wonderful life of geno”, ha. I always want to give an example of how to live a Christian life. I try to share my ups and my downs, my mistakes and my victories, so that maybe you can get something out of them. If there’s one thing I can leave with you this week, it would be to put your trust in God. Don’t fret over tomorrow because your life in His hands. He will show you “What To Do”.
