We all have big decisions to make in life, many of which will affect us for years to come.
Once when I was going through such a decision, someone told me to practice the rule of the comma, "When in doubt, leave it out." It's what you are to do in writing - if you don't know if you should use a comma, you probably should not.
It's a rule that applies to life as well.
God's direction will eventually become clear to us. His will is that important to him. And if it's that important, he won't allow us to make a decision in a fog. He will give us clarity.
"I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord, more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning" (Psalm 130:5-6).
So, if you are facing an important decision, wait on the Lord to reveal his will to you. Seek clarity. Doubt is not his will. It's like the shifting sands on the seashore (James 1:6).
Practice the rule of the comma: When in doubt, leave the decision out.
When and if it's God's will, it will become clear.
