Clarity Comes in the Choosing

I mean what a relief to lock and key.

To be obedient.

To release.

Have you ever sought clarity on something and it felt like no answer was coming? So you wait and wonder. You pray. You try to listen. Yet it’s not until you make a choice that you realize the answer was there all along.

Sometimes we have to lead with a decision.
God has already equipped us to do so.

I’m learning so much in my walk with Him. He’s not an oracle. He’s God. And when we truly lean into Him, into His Word, and not our own understanding, we realize we’ve been empowered to make choices.

Our faith gives us the space to move, to risk, to even fail.
Repentance doesn’t erase the consequences of our actions, but God can still use all things for good according to His will.

That doesn’t mean I won’t face the results of my disobedience. I will.
But often, the lessons are found in those very seasons.

I try to pay attention.
To not grow bitter.
To not let frustration block the blessings ahead.

And I’ll be honest. Most of my choices in the past have been made from fear.
Fear of being wrong.
Fear of being alone.
Fear of missing out.

And that fear has caused me to hold onto things longer than I should have.
It’s led to disappointments that may have been avoided had I simply let go.

I’m learning to surrender.
To trust that the journey, and the results of the choices I make, can still be beautiful.

And through it all, there’s comfort in knowing Christ.
Because when things crumble, when clarity feels far away,

I remind myself that He sees all.
And I trust that I’ll be okay.

Let this be your nudge to trust, choose, and move forward in faith.
