Sensing an urge to make a certain decision certainly must be checked out with Scripture and prayer. Consulting others who have our interests at heart is also very helpful. Richard Blackaby tells a story of a business leader who was offered a very good job. He prayed about it, asking God to show him what he should do. Nothing in Scripture indicates it was a right or wrong decision. His wife told him that she didn’t think he would happy in the new role and his teenage son didn’t think changing jobs would be wise. But the guy didn’t get a direct answer from praying, so he took the job. The change turned out to be very bad decision. Blackaby said that our Father speaks wisdom to us through our friends and family. Our spouse may be our best consultation regarding our next move to follow our Father.
