Daily Devotional. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH. 2 Timothy 2:15. My life is more complicated than you know. The decisions I have to make are not as simple as you think. There are many things I have to consider before I can give you an answer. Have you heard, or even used, these excuses yourself? We all have at one time or another. AND WE CAN OUTGROW THIS OLD WAY OF THINKING. These excuses no longer hold up in a Believers life and thinking. We can make choices and decisions complicated, but that doesn’t mean they need to be. Actually, tough decisions are Black & White, Yes or No, Godly or un-godly. If we find ourselves with a “complicated” problem, all we have to do is take it to the Lord. I’m talking about questions of things of the Spirit, not some engineering design problem. (Although He has shown simple answers even there, when asked). Questions about how you should live your life, good business practices, and morality issues have already been addressed by the Lord in the Bible. It all comes down to the simple question of, “Do I obey the Lord, or not”? The more you are dedicated to finding and doing the answer the Lord’s way, makes the answer that much easier to do, that much quicker to decide, that much less to have to try to “figure out”. When you decide, “Lord, I’ve gotten myself into a mess, I’ll do the answer Your way, WHATEVER IT TAKES”, you have now turned it over to the Lord, you’ve laid it at His Feet, now He’ll show you the answer to obey. (Eat crow if you have to), ask Him to give you the Strength to fulfill the Obedience, and Magnify the Lord. Yes, it is that simple to make a Godly decision, so that you can, Be Blessed.
