Decision making doesn’t come naturally to us all. It’s not so bad when everything is clear cut and is the way forward is pretty obvious because you have all the facts to hand and can really weigh the alternatives. The problems come when we stretch beyond our capabilities or when it looks too close to call. What do we do then – take a risk or step away? Spiritually speaking, stepping away isn’t an option for God. Whilst He gives us total freedom, our choice in response to that has far reaching consequences whatever the direction we go in. God, though, sees us as we are, and he knows our hearts for what they might become. What’s unclear and to us now will always be in sharp focus to him – what we do won’t save us but the way we express our relationship with God – living out our faith – makes all the difference.
