There are many opportunities presented to us throughout our lives. Jesus said “have faith in God”. I think that it’s good to check in with God about the opportunties we see in front of us. Even if, by our own understanding, all the opportunities look equally good. Here is an analogy. When we go grocery shopping we take a certain level of care selecting our produce. We’ll pick up an apple or bell pepper and flip it around to look for obvious faults. We do this because we want the best produce we can get for our money. In other words, we want the good fruit (and vegetables). If God were shopping with us, and actually he is if you think about it, we would never get a bad apple. But choosing produce is not as important as choosing a job, career, business opportunity or even a church for that matter. This is not to say that some of the possibilities are going to lead to ruin if we get them wrong. We know that God is all knowing, full of love and a giver of good gifts. So if we include God in our decisions won’t he point us to the one that is best? There is of course more to this because hearing from God requires a level of faith. I won’t address that problem here beyond admitting that I sometimes struggle with this.
