Decisions, Decisions...

So why are decisions sometimes so hard to make? It seems that every time I have my mind and heart set on what God wants me to do in my life, that another option comes calling. Even after I have closure and peace with one decision, I am faced with another. Not meaning to steal a line from Bro. Paul, but welcome to the Speed of Life.

Life is filled with one decision after another. That is why our communication with God is so very important. We must always try to stay in the center of God's will. I know sometimes that may seem confusing and difficult, but remember that God is not the author of confusion, He is the author of peace.

Satan is the master of confusion, illusion, and delusion. He will try to make you feel confused of your present situation, offer a very illustrious alternative, and create a delusion in your head. That is why we must learn to think and discern with our hearts. As Christians, we have Jesus Christ in our hearts, and the Holy Spirit as our guide.

The answer to the center of God's will is found in your heart. Where are you in your walk with God? Are you close to Him? Do you talk to Him? Does He talk to you? Part of being a Christian means that we have to strive everyday to have our hearts in tune with God's heart. Let me clarify this confusion. When a potter is making a clay pot on a potters wheel, he takes an ordinary clump of clay mud, and smacks on to the spinning potters wheel. It is imperative that this unformed mud be as close to the center of the wheel as possible. This insures stability and symmetry with the potters planned sculpture. If the clay is off center by the slightest bit, it will tend to lean one direction or the other, and throw the balance off, and eventually collapse. However, in the middle of the wheel it can form the base needed to be shaped to the potters intent.

Sound familiar? When we are just a little off center in our lives, we tend to lean in the wrong directions. Our base is unstable and our direction is a bit off. It is only in the center of the Heavenly Potter's will, that we can stand firm and have a strong foundation, and make clear decisions according to His purpose.

Where are you on the wheel?
