Step In Or Step Out

What do you do if you are faced with a situation in your life and you don’t know whether to step into it or step out?

There was a pastor from Europe who led a sermon at CRC one Sunday.  He told a joke about experiencing something quite comfortable that ended up not being the right thing.  He was wearing comfortable clothing that he thought was his own but it was actually women’s clothing that belonged to his mother in law J.  He said just because something is comfortable doesn’t make it right and also that just because you feel uncomfortable about something doesn’t make it wrong. 

We don’t always feel comfortable about the things we have to do in life, but that doesn’t mean we should necessarily walk away from it.  So, what are we supposed to do?

You know the saying “What would Jesus Do/WWJD” which appears on a lot of wrist bands and other accessories they sell at Christian bookshops.  Maybe it would be a good thing to apply it when you are faced with a situation like this.  Pray for guidance.  Relying on your own feelings or outlook might not always be the best thing to do, even if it feels right.  Speak to someone who could be objective about the matter and might therefor be able to lead you in the right direction or at the least give you some advice.   See if it is something you can work through and sort out rather than walking away from something very important that God has planned for you to do in His Kingdom.  His calling for you. 

Choices we have to make in life are not always easy, but with the right guidance and some (or lots J) of patience God will always let it work out for the good.

Today I pray for each one of you for guidance in any situation that you might find yourself in.  Loads of blessings.
