Sometimes doing what is right does not make sense.
It is so easy to lean on our own understanding. We are comfortable with it. We are familiar with what the consequences are. We are in some sort of control of the situation. Even if it is bad there is not an element of surprise.
We don't like surprises; or better put we don't like the time leading up to the surprise. I want to know my choices:
If I am not the one picking where we go to dinner, I like to know beforehand so that I can prepare myself if I am going to be disappointed or eat less during the day if it going to be somewhere good. I do not like just showing up somewhere.
If someone is paying, I don't like rules on what to order. I want to have the freedom to choose. I want to be able to do what I want.
Why do I say all this? Because God asks us to follow him, to make decisions that are not based on our understanding but are leaps of faith.
I have to ask myself a question a lot? As a pastor, as a church planter, as a husband, as a friend, as a leader, as a father, as an individual
am I willing to follow God into the unknown?
