Decision Time

I'm at a point where I don't know what to do. It's not that one option is clearly selfish desire and the other is God's plan. I mean, that's obviously the case, but the two options could equally be either God's will or my selfishness. Does that make sense? I am looking at two different job opportunities, and they both seem good. I'm trusting that God has opened these doors, and He will continue to direct me in the way He's chosen. In the mean time, I really need His wisdom. I came across these lyrics, and I felt like they were speaking the things that my heart hasn't been able to formulate yet. Some of these things, I don't understand, and the only way I'll be able to do so--to prayerfully and honestly sing these words--is to be granted His wisdom. Oh, that I may continue to grow through the process and really be sensitive to the work that my Father is doing.

The Perfect Wisdom of Our God

The perfect wisdom of our God,
Revealed in all the universe:
All things created by His hand,
And held together at His command.
He knows the mysteries of the seas,
The secrets of the stars are His;
He guides the planets on their way,
And turns the earth through another day.

The matchless wisdom of His ways,
That mark the path of righteousness;
His word a lamp unto my feet,
His Spirit teaching and guiding me.
And oh, the mystery of the cross,
That God should suffer for the lost
So that the fool might shame the wise,
And all the glory might go to Christ!

Oh grant me wisdom from above,
To pray for peace and cling to love,
And teach me humbly to receive
The sun and rain of Your sovereignty.
Each strand of sorrow has a place
Within this tapestry of grace;
So through the trials I choose to say:
“Your perfect will in your perfect way.”
