Quandary

1/5/2021

Isaiah 26:3-4 "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock."

Decisions. Never a fun thing for me. Whether it is a question of what should we have for dinner or what house should we buy, I am mostly indecisive. I'm pretty sure it is because I overthink everything. If you do as well, you know how exhausting that can be. 

Even when I am trusting God in all things, I still tend to even overthink that. Sometimes "trust" moves over into trying to decipher what God wants in a certain situation. This is easy to do when it comes to matters of behavior. I know He wants me to love and care for others. As for which path to take in life...well, that is an entirely different thing. 

I am clear on my purpose, because that is given to me in God's word, but something like what house to buy or job to take is where I get fuzzy. Then anxiety starts to creep in, sinister thing that it is, and it bats me around even more. 

These very times are when I need to walk away from a situation, even a looming decision, and become quiet and still before my Savior. I cannot reach a place of peace on my own, but the Prince of Peace can always bring me there. 

Time for me to go and be still.
