Jesus spent the whole night praying to God. Think about that for a minute...the whole night.
Then He made one of the most important decisions in his ministry, He chose the twelve who would be send out with a special assiginment to spread the Good News. There were at least 72 others who had been sent out with the message, and over 100 believers who worshiped together in Jerusalem. Choosing twelve out of the hundreds wasn't "American Idol" style, but intentional. It was God-based and God-honoring.
If we pay attention to this model, wouldn't we all put ourselves and our big decisions before God before we made them? What would it look like if we prayed all night before we chose a spouse, decided to take a new job, made a commitment to lose 15 pounds, reprimanded an errant teenager or opted to end a marriage?
What big decision is on your horizon? Will you submit it to God first? Will you give it hours of prayer before your decide?
peace,
Pastor Judi
