September 2007

A Major Decision

9/3/2007

 
At the present time I am going through a period of fervent prayer because I must make a major decision...
It involves a matter in which I cannot afford to make the wrong choice. This is because whatever decision I finally make, in this instance it could affect my life for the better or worse for many years to come.

I have asked the Lord that if this thing is not of His will, that He would shut the door. And if it is a part of God's plan for me, then I will know it in my heart without any doubting whatsoever.

I know that as a Christian the Lord would sometimes call me to do something I would not ordinarily want to do. This is because the particular task seems very difficult, and my flesh will find itself resisting the call. For His choices are not necessarily always going to be my choices, if I had any say so. And I don't!

I recall, for instance, Jesus' "Garden of Gethsemane" experience (Luke 22:39-46). He cried even to the point of sweating drops of blood as He pleaded with the Father to take the cup of suffering from Him. But it was not to be.

So I'm in a tight spot. I've been praying for awhile about this matter. I have been seeking God's face. I know, too, that the answer will come. Therefore, for the remainder of September, if need be, I will be petitioning heaven for divine guidance. A lot depends on my making the right choice.

D.B.
