Decisive Options

There are many options... right up until the moment you must make a decision. Then there are very few.

If you are anything like me, you can spend almost the entire day playing out scenarios in your mind of what will work, what won't, what would be cool to do, what you'd rather avoid doing, etc, and beyond. (much like I did yesterday)

However, if you are not ready to start making decisions that begin moving you in that particular direction, then it doesn't accomplish much. At least when you start moving, you get a sense of what's going on.

You'll discover some obstacles, you'll notice some things you like, some things you don't, areas of concern and more. Plus, unforeseen opportunities may come along or doors and paths will be closed and you'll find that option not so much, and you'll have to do something else.

Whatever it is you face, eventually, you have to start moving forward and walking in the plan. Otherwise, you'll accomplish nothing. Granted, that happens to be an option, but not a very good one.

Pray, this #associatePastorTuesday, for pastor struggling with situations and the decisions they face. Whether they be of a personal nature or a ministry matter, for the courage and the confidence to make good decisions as they weigh and discuss their options. Pray for wisdom for whatever may come their way as they start walking and moving forward. May the Word of God be the light upon their path and the lamp to their feet. For even one step at a time can be a conscientious decision for those walking carefully or struggling to press on. May they do so in the confidence of their trust in Jesus Christ and in their faith they He also has and always does work things out for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

When options become decisions, may the glorify God, may they draw us closer to Him and inspire other to do likewise.
For the glory of God and the cause of Jesus Christ.
