God’s will is occasionally crystal clear to me. More often, I sit in uncertainly. All my options can look the same. Other times, I get overwhelmed weighing the positives and negatives of both possibilities. I have been know to seek other’s opinions and sometimes base decisions on what another person thinks is best. I get tempted to rush into selecting the choice that appears to be best.
God has taught me to wait and pray for direction. Psalm 27:14 is, “Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2007). When I am stuck with indecision, God tells me to rest and wait on Him. He shows me what steps to take. Sometimes, I need to step away from sorting out the pros and cons of my options.
I need to seek Him through prayer and reading His Word. Everything I do should glorify God. My choices need to reflect teachings from His Word. If I neglect my Bible reading, I miss insights that help me make better choices. Leaning on God helps me to make decisions that reflect His ways. I am able to rest when facing indecision, knowing He will reveal what path I need to take.
