The
Three Big Decisions of Your life
The way I see it, there are
three major decisions/events in a person’s life.
#1 Accepting Christ’s free gift of salvation is the most important
event in your life coupled with
maintaining a vibrant relationship with Him through communion with the Holy
Spirit.
#2 The calling that God has placed on you. Everyone has a calling (2
Peter 1:10). Your calling can be to serve in ministry, your career, a hobby,
serving at your church, simply listening to people, and the list goes on. The
possibilities are huge and fathomless because God makes us unique people that can
use our talents in specific, yet personal ways. God has a specific thing—or
things!—that He wants you to do in your lifetime. Have you sought Him for what
that or those things are? Why or why not?
#3 The greatest decision that you will ever make in the natural world is
who you marry. You will be bonded to
this person for the rest of your earthly lives; you will need to follow God’s
leading together in your marriage; and the fruit of your marriage may be a
family. Are you going to marry the right one? How will you know? Call upon God
through prayer. Does God want you to marry the specific man or woman you are
interested in? The Bible talks about asking and receiving: if you need wisdom,
then ask God for wisdom (James 1:5). Isn’t wisdom required to make the decision
of who you will marry? Then why not ask God? God will speak! If you seek Him,
you will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13). Ask Him, you may be surprised what He
reveals. If you truly hear His Words, they will line up with the Bible.
