The truth is, I have a new way of making decisions lately, and that is to just walk through the day doing what I'm supposed to be doing, having lovely fellowship with the Lord, and letting Him take care of the rest. It's only at crunch time, when a decision is lurking, that this new way seems so outlandishly impractical. My logic might already have decided this for me (the apparently lower-risk but not necessarily religiously correct option), but so far, every time I go to take that step, I can't. It's not that legalism is talking to me about this. It's more that Jesus isn't. He seems to be blissfully uninterested in this decision. Weird.
However, I can't actually lose either way, my friend Jesus tells me via Oswald Chambers (from the March 20 My Utmost devotional, "Friendship with God"):
"To be so much in contact with God that you never need to ask Him to show you His will, is to be nearing the final stage of your discipline in the life of faith. When you are rightly related to God, it is a life of freedom and liberty and delight, you are God’s will, and all your common-sense decisions are His will for you unless He checks. You decide things in perfect delightful friendship with God, knowing that if your decisions are wrong He will always check; when He checks, stop at once." |
Cup of tea, Beloved?
