Title: Faced with difficult decision? Ask God.

 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. ‭‭Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV‬.

Devotion: Every now and then we are faced with difficult decisions which when made can affect our lives either permanently or in the short time. The 'brilliant' ones tend to rely on self intuition to decide while others may seek opinion of friends or relatives. 

  While both are good ways to decide on simple matters, these methods are not enough for life changing decisions. Life changing situations like going into marriage, relocation from home town or country, change of job or starting a new business are serious matters in which human reasoning may not be enough. 

  When a disciple of God takes decision on such matters outside of God, what's the difference between him and unbelievers. As followers of Christ, we must trust Him in all situations and seek the face of God in prayers and sometimes fasting before we decide on life changing situations. When this is done the outcome is always better. David trusted God when his wives and children along with those of his warriors were taken captive. He inquired of the Lord and God said go, you will recover your loss.

 We see this in 1 Samuel 30:8, And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. 18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.

  Therefore I urge you dear reader, before making that decision today ask God for direction, trust Him and listen to the inner voice, check what the Bible says on such matters then make your decision. Be blessed in Jesus name. Hallelujah.
