Principle: My top priority is serving Christ.
Consider this
‘I want to be sure this is God’s will for my life’, Colin said to no one in particular. He knew it didn’t contravene anything in the Bible. He’d prayed about it. Did he feel peace in his heart about it? He wasn’t sure. He’d phoned his pastor, who had said either option was OK. In fact, his pastor hadn’t seemed very interested.
Maybe he should open his Bible at random and point to a verse. He didn’t want to step outside God’s will. But God didn’t seem to be revealing his will very clearly. If only God would zap it down in some way. Colin checked his voicemail just in case. Finally he decided. He’d take the bus and not the train to work this morning.
Biblical background: read 1 Thessalonians 4.3-12.
