Daily Power #293

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. (James 1:5)

Each year, as our church grows, it gets more difficult to make the best decisions. Should we remodel a campus we already have? Purchase more property and build larger facilities? Add an additional service to one of our new locations? Usually, there’s no right or wrong decision—it’s a matter of impact.

Good decisions are often relatively easy to make. But your best decisions are usually much more difficult. They may cause you to struggle between what feels safe and comfortable versus what seems risky and uncertain. They may challenge you, because you face several good options but struggle to know which one is best. Or they may carry a steeper price than other, easier options. Your best decisions may even defy logic or go against the recommendations of those around you.

Ultimately, however, there’s no need to panic. If you’re walking closely with God, then he will guard your steps and guide you. Even if you stumble into a ditch, take a detour, or get stuck, he can redeem your bad decisions into a positive outcome. Our God is that good.

No matter what decision we’re facing, we will always be required to trust God.
