making the hard choices

In our life, we always encounter circumstances that we need to make choices and there are some choices that gives us confusion and even tempt us to do the other thing instead of doing the right thing but as the bible says “Offer right sacrifices and trust in the Lord” (Psalm 4:5 ).

Here are the guidelines for making life’s hard choices, maybe like one you’re facing right now. First, make sure what God wants you to do. The best way to see if it’s God’s idea is to ask Him for something in the Bible that will light up the next step and trust that what you feel most consistently when you’re alone with Him, praying is what He wants you to do.

Secondly, don’t let the cost stop you. “Offer right sacrifices.” The right thing always costs you something, but not nearly as much as the wrong thing. Don’t let the cost keep you from doing what’s right.

Last of all, leave the consequences to God. We often miss God’s best because we let our “yeah buts” decide it; all those “yeah buts” that we’re afraid will happen if we obey. ”Offer right sacrifices and trust in the Lord.” The consequences of doing what He wants are His problem!
