Knowing the answer, but scared to actually decide....

We live in a world where people expect us to have all the answers. I think a lot of the time we know the answer we need to make, but actually making the decision to do it is the hard part.

I know in my life personally following Christ was and is the best decision I've ever made. That doesn't mean following His will for my life is easy. I'm going through a decision right now. God has already given me the answer, but actually deciding to do it is the hard part. The Evangelism handbook says, "This life demanded total commitment to the servant example of Christ". For me that is a reminder that when I gave my life to the Lord, I gave it to Him. I gave Him control of my life, because I know He will love and protect me and whatever He decides to use me for - all glory will go to Him. So why am I still controlling my life? Like I said, giving my life to the Lord is the best choice I've ever made, still trying to control my life is me not letting God have 100% control of my life. I'm not saying it's easy to give up control, but a verse that helps me a lot is Proverbs 16:1, "To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue." We know the right answer, now it's time to make the right choice. Give God 100% control of your life.  The things He can do through us is far beyond the things we could even try to do for ourselves.
