Daily decisions such as what to wear and what to have for lunch can be pretty straightforward. But how about decisions that are more significant, such as where to live, whom to marry, or which career to choose? Our choices can have a great impact on our lives, and making decisions when there may be competing advantages is difficult. And if the pros equal the cons, what then?
The Bible contains many examples of individuals receiving clear direction from God on how to proceed. For example, the Lord told Abram to “Get thee out of thy country . . . unto a land that I will shew thee” (Genesis 12:1). Abram responded by taking his family to Canaan. In another example, Moses, as a humble shepherd, answered the call to serve God by leading the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Guidance in life decisions, be they little or big, is readily available from our Father-Mother God. In humility, we can set aside our personal desires, like in these biblical examples, and rely totally on God to guide us.
