Tough Decision - Edited!

Disobeying God is always most tempting when your comfort zone is not compromised. However, promises of God flows through & through when a decision to obey God precedes over disobedience.

A few practical ways I did to help me in making a Godly decision:

1) Pray & Fast
I set aside time to pray and fasted a meal a day and I asked God specifically to give me a word by Wed (today).
When I heard nothing on Mon & Tues, I panicked! I really wanted to give up. I wanted to just any-O-how make a decision. Yet, deep within, I knew I will not be satisfied till I am convicted by God.

God's perfect timing. He spoke this morning during my QT.

2) Reading the Word of God
You know, when both decisions does not dishonor God, it IS the hardest decision to make.

I found myself searching endlessly for answers.

When I am not searching for answers, I will recite my past memory verses. Best verse of the year - Jeremiah 29:11.

God's perfect timing. He spoke just now during CG.

3) Read relevant Christian books
Books may not pour forth answers like "Thou shalt xxx" or "Thou shalt not xxx".

However, Christian books bring about experiences from the author.

4) Confirmation from leaders
Cannot emphasize the importance of the leaders in my life. Anointing flows from the top indeed. When my decision was confirmed by my CL, I knew I am on the right track.

3 basic steps. No.. 4 step. Basically, the only steps I know how.

Indeed, temptation is real. It is so real that it can sometimes be the compromising factor in our life. I found myself stuck in a situation. A decision is all it takes to unstuck me. Yet, when this decision does not dishonor God, it is so hard to make.

However, one thing I learnt this time is the importance of the peace of God. Therefore, even though the end goals of both decision may not necessary dishonor God, obeying God does glorify Him.
