Tough Decisions

Read Genesis 24:1-67.

Compared to Rebekah, my choices don't seem all that difficult! I only pray that I can trust and obey God when I have decisions to make. (I am getting much better at listening for his advice!)

Am I facing any hard choices right now? Sure. Isn't that what parenting is all about? I constantly worry if I am doing the right things for my children. Then there's work. I have to make professional decisions every day.

Why are my decisions difficult? I think it's tough to make any choice when it is difficult to anticipate any kind of fall-out. When I don't know for sure what the end result is, I have a tough time making a final choice. I supposed that's where trust comes in!

Is God asking me to trust Him? Can I obey Him? Yes and yes. But I need lots of help from the Holy Spirit! I can't do it alone.

Faith

Inside my RAP Bag, someone gave me the word Faith.

As I finish reading my Bible and place it back on it's shelf, I should not put my faith on the shelf with it.

Faith is a gift from God. I know about this faith. I have faith in God. This makes me think of a verse from Phillipians that stands out in my mind after this weekend.

...do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. ~ Phillipians 4:6-7
