MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE
"The Lord gives wisdom"
Pr 2:6 NKJV
MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE
Maybe you're facing graduation. More frequently than before, people are switching to different jobs and companies and changing their whole careers. In 2014, career specialist Andy Chan observed that young adults will face, on average, twenty-nine jobs over their lifetime. In 2013 Oxford researchers predicted that about half the jobs will be replaced with technology by 2033. So, how do you adjust to a constantly changing environment? Perhaps you're in a rut. Your life is safe but unrewarding. You want to do more or be more. Perhaps you're facing a empty nest. You abruptly find independence and time and options that have been unavailable to you for a few decades. What's the best way to use them? Possibly you're retiring. What might God have next for you? Maybe you have traveled abroad and seen a great need or have investigated a problem and want to make a difference. What should you do next? Perhaps you're considering marriage. How can you tell if this is the right one? What if you make a mistake? Or maybe you have been agonizing over a lost opportunity in your past. Will God give you another one? In answering these questions, you must keep two things in mind. First and foremost, God is more interested in what you become than where you go or what you do for a living. His goal for your life is "to be conformed to the image of His Son" (Ro 8:29). Second you will save yourself time, trouble, and possible heartache by consulting God before making any decision. "For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding" (Pr 2:6 MKJV).
