decisions....

life is about prioritizing... but i think it's also about obedience... obedience to God's call to where He wants you to be every single day...

how do we prioritize? the all-encompassing answer would be to have God at the centre of everything you do... and look to do things with eternal value... and work your best in everything you do... those are some great reminders....

but... i find i have lots of time to pray and seek God's will in a variety of ways when i have time to do so... soemtimes, decisions need to be made quick... and those choices are just as important as other ones for which i have more time to decide...

there's an element of trust in God for decision-making.. and some risk-taking... by nature, i'm a very low-risk kinda person... and i really like to think things through in order to make an infomred decision... sometimes God doesnt' allow for that... =P it's a wonder how we're made...and how our rational/emotional/intellectual/spiritual mindsets are woven together... sometimes... are we jsut supposed to make a decision and stick with it?

this brings me back to yesterday nite:
i picked up a book that i started reading last term on godliness last nite..and it talked about being dependable...

"If we probe a bit deeper, we see that "unfaithfulness" is very close to "disobedience," for the man who disobeys God has cast himself loose from the only solid support a man can have, and his direction in life will be controlled by the shifting winds of circumstances and of his whimsical desire... The man who is not controlled by God has no settled reason to keep his word or discharge his obligations."

"Reliability is not jsut a social obligation; it is a spiritual obligation. God wants us to be dependable even when it costs us. This is what distinguishes godly faithfulness from the ordinary dependability of secular society."

hmm...so yeah..about that decision making... i am starting to believe that some decisions God definitely reveals to us the speicifc action/thought He wants us to engage in... but at other times, when we need to make a quick important decision, God doens't let us know specifically which route he wants us to take... some chocies are equally morally acceptable... so...i suppose choose one and stick with it... and don't think too much about it aftwards.. have faith... and live life, not extremely cautious, nor extremely free-spirited...but somewhere in between... but do stick with your choices and consequences --> thus is dependability... and even if it turns out later on that an even better opportunity comes along, we should still stick with our original decision... (being dependable, even when it costs us)...in the big things as well as the little things...
