A DECISION TO MAKE

Luke 6:12 - "Jesus went up to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God".
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before a big decision is made, what do you do?  Drink the night away?  Roam the mall and do window shopping?  Watch a movie and repeat it 3 times?  Listen to your favorite playlist?

And you do this to ease your mind, and to loosen your thinking so you can make a better decision.

But, how about praying.  Praying hard.  Praying to God and asking for enlightenment.  Praying to God to ask for a open mind and guidance so yo can make a better decision that would benefit the most.  Praying to God, fully knowing that He knows everything.

Before choosing His twelve Apostles, Jesus did the same.  And He did it the whole night.  He knows that this is a very big decision to make.  The people He will choose are the ones to continue His mission on earth long after He ascended to Heaven.

So, let it all out to God and seek His guidance.  And "feel that tap on your shoulder".  The Lord maybe telling that everything will be alright and He will continually grasping your hands in times when something goes wrong, for He knows, your decision is really for the better.

When we have this relationship of prayer with God, we can always rely on His promises.  We can be strong and of good courage.  We can fear nothing because God is with us and He will never fail or forsake us.  Climb the mountain with Him and find the greatest decision there is.

+ Let us pray:  Almighty Father, let me climb the mountain with You.  May I look up to You and seek Your mighty name so I may not be afraid on making a very important decision in my life.  I know I can, because I have put my total trust in You.  Amen +
