Every day we make decisions – what to wear, what to eat and what to do. There are little decisions and big decisions. Perhaps, for most people, the biggest decisions in life are about relationships, marriage (whether to marry and whom to marry) and work.

But these decisions pale into insignificance beside the great decision. The great decision is how you respond to God. Are you experiencing ‘God’s rest’ in your life? Or are you worn out trying to control everything and everyone around you? Maybe it is time to resign as general manager of the universe and start believing God’s promises and trusting God to do what only he can do.The way to find ‘rest’ for your soul is to listen to God’s promises, believe them and show that you believe them by living in obedience to the word of God.

Others may have discriminated against you, but God does not discriminate on the basis of your age, gender or situation in life. 

There are many still in the ‘valley of decision’ (Joel 3:14).The Lord will be a refuge for his people’ (Joel 3:16). He promises wonderful blessings. 

God promises us ‘double for our trouble’. He restores, redeems, renews and revives us by his Spirit. 

This is all wonderful, good news that we need to bring to those who are in the valley of decision.
