One of the challenges when you're making decisions under the guidance of God is to remember that He is above you, not below you. Keeping your eyes fixed on Christ means your face is looking up toward Heaven in positive expectancy, not at the ground in defeat. Keeping your chin up, not down.
Sometimes my chin is neutral. It faces forward so my feet are walking in the direction I hope I've discerned correctly for the path I am to take. If not, I stop walking and wait. I wait upon the Lord and until I receive a green light, I stay put.
But what about those yellow lights? You know something good is coming but it's not here yet. Do you go? Do you stop? Do you accelerate? Or do you wait? I believe you pray and ask the Holy Spirit and your dearest friends to pray with you. You don't budge until you have a solid answer. And if a solid answer doesn't come, then God trusts you to make the decision so either way it will be okay.
I have a dear friend who is in the middle of discerning a life changing event. She knows her name. I pray for her each time I think of her. She is wise, godly and a servant of our Most High God. Her heart wants to do what's right. I believe in her and I know she's not perfect. She will submit herself to her Savior, practice her disciplines, seek counsel and ponder in her heart the path before her.
Hold your head up. Keep your eyes fixed on Heaven for your Father is meeting your eyes with His...
