Default Wanting to know and understand more how God makes His choices

Hi,

I am currently trying to make a major decision between two choices and I was driving home just now, asking God "Show me Your will, and I will do it, no questions asked, in complete trust."

Then the question came to my mind of how God makes His choices, and I asked Him "How do You make Your choices? How do You choose what to do?"

I want to ask you all to pray with me that God helps us hear His answer to this question. If we are to imitate God in how we make choices we must seek to understand and emulate God's way of choosing what He wants, right? Obviously, we cannot fully comprehend His way of making choices between available possibilities, but we must understand that He does have reasons for whatever He chooses, and that these reasons are the best of all possible reasons. His choices are always the best choices He could make. It is when we neglect to seek out the path by which He makes His choices that our choices fail miserably, because they do not conform to what is best in God's plan.

So can you all pray that God teaches us how He makes choices, so we can learn from Him in this matter?

God bless you all,
Joshua

God all mighty please help us make the correct decisions daily. God help us do your will. I pray that we can learn to imitate Christ's life on earth.

Lord, bless Joshua and everyone who has to make decisions. Please help them accept Your wonderful plan for their lives. Let them know in ways they understand Your will for them. Bless them with a steadfast faith in You so that they will not lose hope and always trust that Your plan is always what is the best for them. AMEN.
