Part 5 - Beware of What Seems Right

Seeking the Lord, not every day, not all the time, but just knowing we we need to do this. And I I I read this quote in this book and it says, there's times you come to major decisions that you just need to make an unemotional decision. Basically, didn't say this, but in my language is pull the trigger. You just you can't just sit there the rest of your life blaming it on God that you're waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting. Sometimes God says, do something.

These are things you have nothing that you can do to change. The past, the future, and other people. Let's just start there. The past, you can't undo it. Now, you can be forgiven, you can redeem, you can see God, you know, but you can't change what the past is. And if you spend time on that, it's just gonna drag you backwards. You can't change the future. You can predict it, you can proclaim it, you can declare it, you can't control it. [00:05:56] (32 seconds)  #LetGoOfThePast

Some of my biggest decisions have come in moments that weren't emotional. It was just a sense of, okay, Lord, we're we're gonna do now, after all the due diligence, seeking wise counsel, prayer, you know, bouncing off, you know, just going through the process that you go through to make a good decision. But but I've had I can't tell you there's been decisions I I I I thought about. And I I use the example of us picking Jason to be it's a it's it literally was a decade for us of prayer.

versus trust. And and I I you know, if you if I was honest with you, I'd say and not that I wanna ever lie, but if to be blunt, if if you gave me the choice, I'm picking clarity over trust every day. Trust is just hard. It's risky. It's it's it's it's hard. I want clarity, then I'll trust him. And the Lord's like, no. It goes the other way around. What I I I I forgot to tell is the whole story [00:00:31] (31 seconds)  #TrustIsHard
