God's Bigger Than Our Decisions

Several friends have made the passing comment to me recently that they hope they are doing what God wants them to do.  I tell them, "God's bigger than our decisions."  He can make good of our mess.  Whew!  What a relief.

Please try to read this without thinking too much about predestination/free will.  What I am trying to say is that we really can't know whether some decisions were right or wrong.  For instance, the last time I encountered this situation was in a conversation about deciding to go to grad school.  My friend said he hoped grad school was the right decision, rather than going out into the full-time work force.  We can't know which is the "right" decision.  However, he has made his decision, and God is going to use that for good.  Had he chosen the other path, God would have used it for his good as well.

So be encouraged!  Don't fret about whether your decision fits in with God's will - He will use your decision for your good.
