Overcoming Indecision
When we're instructed to wait on the Lord, God is not instructing us to sit and twiddle our thumbs or crumble beneath the weight of deciding what we should or shouldn't do. The phrase "wait on the Lord" means to wait in expectation, trusting in God and not the circumstances we may be experiencing. If farmers experience low crop yields, do they say, "I won't plant seeds this year because I know God will supply a prosperous crop”? No, they plant their seeds, care for the crop, and pray that it will be bountiful. For many, attempting to make a decision creates paralysis and indecision. God is the best avenue when it comes to decision-making. That’s because He sees our lives from beginning to end and, therefore, knows what choices are the best ones for us. We can rest assured that wherever the Lord leads us is the best place for us to be. Don’t wrestle with indecision; ask God for guidance and wait for His direction.
