Scripture Verse that caught my attention today: Acts 15:2 And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to discuss this question with the apostles and the elders.
Observation: they sought trusted counsel.
Application: Big decisions are worthy of deep thought, significant discussion, more time to think, and wise counsel from trusted partners. Paul and Barnabas, without a doubt leaders in their own right, nevertheless backed up a step in their arguments to consult with other trusted leaders as a double-check on their perspective. That’s a good model to follow.
Prayer: Lord, whenever large decisions loom, help us to use all the resources that you have placed at our disposal. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
(Readings today included: Leviticus 7-9 and Acts 15)
