Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life. [John 5:24]
Lord, help me to hear you and listen to your commands.
so ive been thinking (yeah i do that a lot) and it seems like Jesus does a good job of telling us what we need to do to have eternal life.....i mean, he tells us exactly what we are to do........"hear my word and believe in the one who sent me," "Come after me," "remain in me," "love one another," and so on....so why is it so hard sometimes to figure out what is the right thing to do? you know what im talking about.....those times in our lives, those situations we get into, when we cant really see what the best thing for us to do is. so many options to choose from, but which one is the best choice? which one does God want me to choose? some choices are clearly bad and some are clearly good, but sometimes the good choices are hard to decide from.....like, they all seem equally good or something.......but you have to choose, so which do you choose? maybe im not making any sense, i dont have a specific example to use or anything. i was just thinking about this.
the only solution i have is to pray and ask God to show you a clear path, to point you in the direction that He desires you to go. sometimes it takes patience and a lot of time to see where God is leading us. and maybe sometimes the choices we have to make dont have "time" to wait for a response from God...........or do they? or maybe God isnt making us wait, maybe we just arent listening carefully..........or maybe God wants to give us totally freedom in some decisions and doesnt want to try to guide our choice? i dont know about that........
i guess to be certain, we should hear and believe, so we will have eternal life with Christ.
