Decisions. Sometimes they are easy. What to wear, what to eat.... but at times we have big ones that we have to make. Ones that cost. And I am not just talking money here. I find myself at that point. Big decisions. So what do I do?
Well, I have the market cornered on worry. I worry about the what if's. What if I do that and what if I do this. How could that effect the outcome? What is the outcome if.. You know-you have done it too. And I run to get opinions from others, sometimes until I hear the right one that agrees with what I am thinking. And then I worry more...
Why do we do this? Why don't we just run to Him? Why is He always the last place we go? Didn't He say "come to Me." Alright Lord, I will, after I go to everyone else first. After I worry myself silly over it. After, after......Ugh!
But today Lord, teach me Lord to seek you FIRST. Not middle or last. Not when I think I may know the answer. May I run to you today for help. For wisdom. For peace.
For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:30-32
Where do you go?

Wow, Melissa, do I ever know where you're coming from! I just had some great teaching on worry/fear over the weekend. I'll have to share some of it with you - very powerful stuff! I'm praying that God will give you peace in the process of decision making. Love ya!

Hey Mel, I think we are all like that at times. We tend to try and find our own answers before we seek HIs. I am appalled at myself sometimes when I think "Karen why didn't you just ask GOD first" I would save myself so many heartaches if I would just turn to Him first. Love reading your blog.
Love K.
I used to go straight to the phone! Hopefully I am getting better at this. The more my circumstances are beyond my control the easier it is for me to go to the Lord. It can be the day to day things though that trip me up!! Great words.
