Scripture | 1Kings 1:1-4:34 (EBST*) | Translation | NIV |
What God said to me | Be thoughtful and sincere in your requests. Yesterday you asked for wisdom and discernment. Last night you had to make a tough decision. This request is easy for Me to grant, but it will not make your life easier. Your responsibility will be greater. You will face challenging dilemmas. You may not always be unscathed. |
What I said to God | Last night was tough. This morning, my heart is broken – not because of the decision I made (policies and ethics support the decision), but because the decision angered a dear friend. I guess I had the misconception that wisdom and discernment in decision-making would always lead to peace and unity among the stakeholders. I am confident with the decision. Where do I go from here with a damaged relationship? |
