that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ,

 

Bible Reading for a Year [bible]psalm144[/bible]; [bible]0john4[/bible]; [bible]iisam15-16[/bible]

It is just like when I decided to accept the job offer, that now become my job. In the beginning, to accept that offer was so difficult. There were so many raging and uncertain considerations. 

At that moment I learned that I need opinion and judgment from other people about my problem. We might hear some advices and opinions of others that seem good, ordinary, or even inappropriate. But what we have to do is to filter and sort out the advices that can confirm our final decision. It is similar to the Apostle Paul’s prayer in Philippians 1:10; he asked that every one may approve the things that are excellent.

Of course every decision has its own risk, but we need to minimize the risks by taking it into considerations. And do not forget to involve God because His decision leads to joy, peace, and goodness for our life.

 

A good choice made by good consideration will produce good fruits, as well.
