We can make some pretty good choices in line with God's manual for life - the bible... and that's a good thing! But sometimes I wonder is having more choice a really a good thing. It takes a lot of time and energy to make considered and good choices, to gather all the information we need... but I wonder if the more choices we're given simply become a distraction to what's really important in life.
My sister is terminally ill and she's being confronted with all sorts of choices she'd really rather not have to make. When we are weary it can be just too much for us to weigh up all the options, evaluate outcomes, consider all the possible side effects etc. and the more choice we have the more overwhelmed we can feel. Life can throw us a curve ball like redundancy, bereavement, injustice or terminal illness and we can feel there is simply too much dust thrown up by the trauma to make a clear decision. So Beloved Child of God I want to encourage you today if you can't see the wood for the trees - God can and He will help you. His word says "Commit your ways to the Lord, trust Him, and He will act" (Psalm 37 v 5). He will act... and He will act in your best interest because He loves you deeply.
Have a good week hugs Ruth x
