We all have big decisions to
make from time to time.
And when we’re pressed to make
one of those major decisions,
Like buying a house or changing
careers,
Or something even bigger--or smaller--
We might put it off.
Saying: Let me think about it.
Or, Let me sleep on it.
If we have a significant
other, we might say,
Let
us have a little time to talk about it.
And that’s wise.
We shouldn’t rush into major
decisions.
We should give them their due
consideration.
What did Jesus do before
choosing his apostles?
He clearly treated it as a
big decision.
He had other things to decide
too.
Even bigger things about his mission.
He went up onto the mountain
to consider his options.
But he didn’t just think about it.
And he didn’t sleep on it.
He spent the night alone, in
prayer to God.
You might say he did talk it over with his Significant Other.
Now and then you might hear
somebody say,
Let
me pray on that.
Or, I’m going to have to pray on that.
We probably don’t hear that
very often in our circles.
I know I don’t.
We probably don’t say that
very often.
I know I don’t.
At least not out loud.
Whether we say it aloud or
not,
We should never neglect to do it.
None of us is ever alone.
We all have our Most Significant Other.
And when we have a big
decision to make,
He’s always there to talk it
over with us.
Like Jesus, we should pray on
it.
