Indecisioners Rejoice!

I've been guilty of being frozen by indecision. I've passed on doing things that I maybe I should have done or done things that I should have passed on. Friends, family, coworkers all have opinions. Who do you listen to? Even the kindest soul with all the best intentions may not be the one to follow.

As a recovering indecisioner, I'm getting better. I realized that I don't always take advantage of having the Master Decision Maker at my disposal. I came to a place where I had to settled in my mind that the Holy Spirit is here to help. I've asked Him for His guidance and direction so I should suppose that He has something to say about that. The thing is, He doesn't always announce His help by speaking in a commanding voice in my ear: "This is the Lord God talking. I have some guidance for you." I wish He would.

Instead, He speaks through my own thoughts, or other people, or the Word, or any number of avenues. Now I have to trust. When I come to a fork in the road and I've heard all the input, I go with the one I feel best about. I just have to trust. Because I've asked God for His help, I know that one of the answers I've been given is His, so I have to believe that it's the one that feels the best.

What if I'm wrong? Well, it's probably not going to be the end of the world. At least I hope not. I'm pretty sure I don't want to be responsible for that one. But I also believe that if I'm sincere in wanting to hear God, He's not going to let me do something destructive. I believe that He will continue to communicate to me in ways that I will eventually hear. If I just don't get it, He's still God. He can take my mistakes and use then for great good. I'm not in trouble, I'm just more experienced the next time.

It makes life a lot less stressful. Just do it, or don't do it, but don't stress over it. What does it feel like? Ok then, it's settled. On to the next thing. When you have a world to conquer, you just can't sweat the small stuff.
