Did I Make the Right Decision?


Judges 4-6

In these chapters we find the story of Gideon and the “laying out of the fleece” to discern God’s will.  We are often presented with problems and decisions with no clear, right, choice.  What should we do?

1.     Insure that none of the choices conflict with the Word of God.
2.     Ask, BELIEVING, God to direct your choice.
3.     Choose
4.     Don’t look back! (doubt)

I will admit that my wife and I, on rare occasions, have "laid out the fleece," but only on occasions when the choice had long lasting, irreversible, consequences for our whole family.  Read chapter 6 again.

In decision-making we cling to James 1:5-6.  We pray, believing, and then make a decision confidently believing that our choice is God’s will.  We don’t need a fleece, fax or email, just a believing heart and a determined will to act and not look back.  God will not let you down!!!
