Have you ever had a moment when you’ve gotten stuck when it comes to making decisions? For some of us we’re so ready to plow ahead that we never bother to ask God for direction. For others, we are so desperate in our desire to please God that we are afraid the decisions we are making might not be in His will. For others, we have felt the crash and burn after a poor decision. In every case, these things keep us from being able to make decisions and move forward.
We live in a world that is seeking to have us make decisions based on self-fulfillment, pleasing others, and what is socially acceptable. (How’s that working out for us?!) Instead, the purpose of this new series called “Stuck” is to help us get unstuck by showing us that the best way to make wise decisions is to base it on a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, through Scripture, and through relationships with otherwise, Godly people. But how do we do that if the decision isn’t black and white or even answered specifically in Scripture?
The key is wisdom! While some decisions are simple, everyday ones with little impact on our lives, other decisions are more important. Where do we turn to help us make wise decisions? How do we tune ourselves to the heart of God?
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:7). This is a great lens by which we can begin this discussion and will influence where we go.
Grace & Peace,
Pastor Aaron
