Episode 454 - Show Notes
- I’m sure that in your life right now you need to make a decision, or maybe several decisions. Perhaps you are deciding about your future, your work, your family, where you live, or a parenting decision.
- Do you feel that uncertainty about the decision you need to make? Are you struggling with some stress and anxiety because you want to be sure to make the right decision?
- Like Solomon, you can ask God for wisdom. In fact, God has promised to give it to you if you would simply ask him.
- It’s not just major companies that have consultants. You and I have them too. We have family members, close friends, work colleagues, neighbors, and even social media followers that all love to share their opinions about what we should or shouldn’t do.
- While we are grateful for the advice from trusted family members and friends, we cannot neglect asking God what He would have us to do. A simple challenge for us would be: Have we asked God about it?
- So much wisdom can be gained from the pages of the Bible. If we read it in Scripture, we don’t have to wonder if it’s right for us. We know it’s his will for us because it is in his word. I love the old saying, “Don’t say God is silent if your Bible is closed.”
- Remember, the Bible teaches us that God is not the author of confusion. If you are confused, if the path forward is unclear, know this is not God’s will for you. His Spirit wants to bring clarity, guidance, and direction.
2 Chronicles 1:7-10 - “God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” Solomon answered God, “You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me king in his place. Now, Lord God, let your promise to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people who are as numerous as the dust of the earth. Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?”
James 1:5 says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”
