"Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand." - Proverbs 19:21
Time is a scarce and precious resource that God has entrusted to us. Don’t let distractions get in the way of accomplishing God’s plans and purposes. Redeem your time wisely and make the most of it for His glory.
We are only human. How do we redeem and make the right choices all the time? We don’t have all the answers. Right? And also sometimes our pride gets in the way of making good decisions. The Bible tells us not only to seek wisdom from God but also to take counsel from people you trust. Are you struggling to make decisions? Do you feel stuck between two choices? The Bible is full of wisdom on how to make good decisions.
Luke 6:12 - "One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God."
In this passage, Jesus had many followers–people He taught about following God. They were His disciples, or students. But He wanted to choose twelve men to be His closest followers, His apostles, to go out into the world to spread the gospel. When faced with the choice of which men to select, Jesus chose to pray. In fact, He prayed all night. The selection of these twelve men was significant, and He wanted to seek the insight of His Father to make sure He was choosing wisely.
The Point is when you are faced with tough decisions, you should ask God for wisdom to do what’s right. Then follow what He’s prompting you to do. If talking to God is new for you, and you’re not sure where to start, try the P-R-A-Y method (Praise, Repent, Ask, Yield) of prayer. :)
