Ever have a decision you needed to make; you know what answer is best, but you don't like the answer?
Yeah, let me tell ya, I have been there.
There was something going on in my life, and as I was praying about it a bit, I knew what I had to do, but I didn't like what I felt God was leading me to do. It was something that I knew would hurt and make me uncomfortable.
I wrestled with this over a month. Events happened that made it even more clear that this thing God was asking me to do was what I needed to do to fix what was going on.
Eventually, I finally listened. And it was hard at first. But I can say that because I did that thing God was leading me to, I am able to feel a lot lighter. I have confidence that the right decision was made because of the things that have come from it. I have been able to grow closer to God and have been able to take more time to try to really seek Him. I do not feel the stress I was feeling. I feel free.
Some of you really just want to know what the situation was. It doesn't matter. It's personal, just like the things you may be facing.
I'm going to wrap this up with a few more words.
I encourage you to do two things:
1. Take time to seek God in prayer. He will show you what you need to do, if you really are genuinely listening.
Now, the harder one.
2. Actually do what He is asking you to do. There's no point in fighting God. As my friend told me... when we wrestle with God we never win... we only defy what He wants for our lives. Gonna have to remind myself of that a lot sometimes.
