Knowing when to speak up for something…and when to stay silent. When to hold onto something…and when to let it go. When to pursue something…and when to sit back in faith.
Choices like this are incredibly tough, especially when our feelings are involved and a circumstance could warrant either one. It takes a great deal of discipline and discernment to know which is right for the moment.
It takes a lot of prayer. Focused, dedicated prayer.
The truth is, we can’t make these calls without God. All of us have seen what happens when we rest on what we know to do and trust that we feel is best.
“I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.” {Proverbs 4:11}
Without the wisdom of God, the roads we travel down are likely to be crooked, rocky, or impassable. We will mess up relationships, elicit heartache, or even...self-destruct.
With such high stakes, there is really no other call to make but to call on God, asking Him to give wisdom in decisions that look like they could go either way.
Because He is God, and we are not...
...with great ability to give peace in the difficult and confusing fine line moments in our life.

Thanks for the reminder that God is the Lord even in the fine line moments.
I needed that encouragement.
Gonna trust God to teach me what to do in these fine line moments.
Sweet blessings
