I have been talking with a good friend who has a difficult decision to make. Today is the day he has to make it. A decision that on one hand, impacts his professional career in a major way; on the other hand, it also impacts his family. And, it is a tough decision.
Decisions are easy to make as an armchair quarterback . . . Many of us would step up to the plate and pose to him the EXACT solution to his choice. But decisions get tough when YOU have to make them, and when they impact people YOU love. And sometimes there is NO EASY CHOICE . . . My friend has prayed and prayed for direction from God. God will always give it to us, just not always in the time frame we want it.
Unfortunately, tough decisions are part of life. They WILL come and we will have to work our way through them. And they are never easy . . . (otherwise, we would not call them “TOUGH”, right??)
Pray for my friend today . . .
PS – This really is one of my friends . . . This is not my clever way of getting you to pray for me, although I do have my share of tough decisions every day!
