Dear Tippet.
I see no problem with asking God to help you decide in this way. Remember when Abrahams servant was sent to find Issac a wife. The way he asked the Lord to show him is similar IMO to the way you have asked.
Gen 24:13 Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
Gen 24:14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: [let the same be] she [that] thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
Gen 24:15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
This is only my opinion my brother and you should seek the counsel of others. I do believe that if you in your heart turn it over to God he will direct you and the choice you make will not surprise him. It is your heart he judges and he will make your decision work for you because he is a loving father and wants the best for you.
Let me know how you decide. I will pray for you about this decision.
In Yeshua's love for you - DLL
PS. The Disciples use of casting lots is also relevant IMHO. The key is being willing to follow the answer that you get. |
