Making the right choice

Maybe you’re looking for a new job. More often than ever before, people are switching to different jobs and work environments and changing their whole path in life. So, how do you adjust to a constantly changing workplace?

Perhaps you’re in a rut. Your life is safe but unrewarding. You want to do more or be more.

Perhaps your kids have left home and you’re facing an empty nest. You abruptly find independence and time and options that have been unavailable to you for the last few decades. What’s the best way to use them?

Possibly you’re retiring. What might God have next for you? Maybe you have travelled abroad and seen a great need, or have investigated a problem and want to make a difference. What should you do next?

Perhaps you’re considering marriage. How can you tell if this person is the right one? What if you make a mistake?

Or maybe you have been agonising over a lost opportunity in your past. Will God give you another one?

In answering these questions, you must keep two things in mind. First and foremost, God is more interested in what you become than where you go or what you do for a living. His goal for your life is ‘to be conformed to the image of His Son.’ (Romans 8:29 NIV) Second, you will save yourself time, trouble, and possible heartache by consulting God before making any decision. ‘For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.’ (Proverbs 2:6 NKJV)
