Sometimes when I am praying for God to give me wisdom about a decision I have to make, I get impatient and instead of waiting for His answer, I knock down the door that I want to have opened for me. It doesn’t usually turn out well for me when I do that because I got ahead of God. That might have been the place He wanted me to be, but not the right time. I am thankful that God is faithful to help me make choices. Rebekah had a difficult choice, to leave her home and all that was familiar and to go to a strange land and marry a man whom she had never met. She was willing to go and became the wife to Isaac, Abraham’s son, and the father of the nation Israel. God must have been working in her heart and life for this to happen because I cannot imagine making the choice she did. Abraham’s servant had prayed a specific prayer for guidance and God answered Him with a specific answer. When I am floundering to make a wise choice, I pray that I will have the boldness to pray and the wisdom to then listen and accept His answer, even if it isn’t one that I want to hear.
