I've been considering the whole paradigm of making a choice. Essentially, there are only two choices we need to make - yes or no. This came up as I considered my roles in my church and where I was going with them. For each, I had to ponder their continued existence in my life - yes or no?
Logically, it's an extremely difficult choice. 50-50 aren't great odds by any means. Thankfully, I can consider environmental factors. Yet, such environmental factors are tainted by bias and influence from others and upbringing. For example, I might want to continue in my role in a certain organisation because of the influence of a leader or the ideas I have been made to believe growing up in the same environment. So how do I determine if my choice is the right choice or 'right' choice?
I pondered this as I did my quiet time a few nights ago. My conclusion, two points: God has a reason and purpose for wherever you are, whatever you are doing, so essentially there is no wrong choice; with God, under no circumstances should I worry - all things work out for the good of those under His umbrella of Grace.
This doesn't make my choosing any much easier, but it does give me peace in that whatever I may choose, I am not wrong, and I should not be convinced otherwise.
