From Ordinary to Altar: Decisions

St Basil's

Pete James continues our series looking at how we can practically hunger and thirst for righteousness in the ordinary parts of our lives. Taking Jesus in Gethsemane as a Biblical archetype for decision-making, Pete invites us to cultivate four things in our small and big decisions: decide from our belovedness; trusting the character of God; desiring God's will; and acting in line with the authority God has given to us. Pete makes the point that our daily decisions are a gymnasium for our discerned decisions and that we must learn to listen to God's whispers before we need him to shout.
