Lord, I want to choose your best for me. Show me the right way.

Beloved, whenever you are in doubt as to which way to turn, submit your judgment absolutely to the Spirit of God, asking Him to shut every door but the right one.  

~~L. D. Cowman  

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

Life is filled with choices. Simple ones like the choice between chocolate or vanilla, and more complicated ones like whether to accept a new job or to take on that responsibility at church or to buy a car. Some choices are easy because we see clearly that one is better than the other, or even that one is right and one is wrong. But sometimes we’re choosing among several good options and we just don’t know what to do.

Like that old TV game show Let’s Make a Deal, selecting “door number one” instead of “door number two” seems daunting. But unlike a game show host, God isn’t trying to confuse or deceive you. He wants to show you the best choice for you. Submit your judgment absolutely to his Spirit, asking that he close every door but the right one.

Then the choice is easy.

Lord, I want to choose your best for me. Show me the right way.

Scripture for Meditation

Next Paul and Silas traveled through the area of Phrygia and Galatia, because the Holy Spirit had prevented them from preaching the word in the province of Asia at that time. Then coming to the borders of Mysia, they headed north for the province of Bithynia, but again the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them to go there. So instead, they went on through Mysia to the seaport of Troas.  

That night Paul had a vision: A man from Macedonia in northern Greece was standing there, pleading with him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us!” So we decided to leave for Macedonia at once, having concluded that God was calling us to preach the Good News there. Acts 16:6-10
