“Today,
seek God’s guidance.”
When you have two options that are both good, but you
have to determine which of them is right, you will have a hard time. While a good
thing can be easily detected with our senses, knowing the right thing often
requires us to make use of our spiritual
antennae. Remember when David got the chance to kill Saul; his associate
suggested they should kill Saul. That seemed like a good thing because Saul had
been trying to kill David. But David
realized that the right thing to
do was not to lay a hand on Saul.
But there are times when the right thing may not even
cross your mind or it may seem like the wrong decision and in the process, you
may erroneously think that the good thing you are about to do is the only right
decision. When Joseph discovered that the woman he was about to marry was found
to be with child, he had in mind, not to disgrace Mary but to quietly divorce
her. That seemed like a good decision, but when he got a revelation from God,
he changed his mind and took the right decision. Today, seek God’s guidance as
you work on your plans for the year.
Prayer/Confession: Holy Spirit, let my steps be according to
Heaven’s will. Amen.
