This morning I am overcome with the sadness of decisions. I went to the courthouse in Boise early yesterday morning to be present for a relative who was being sentenced. It was grievous to see her daughter listen and weep as the judge outlined the sentencing. As I returned home I listened to a client tell of her story of childhood sexual abuse and later rape from a friend. I was then called by a client who needed to talk about his forthcoming divorce and wife’s affairs.

As I was reading my devotional and scriptures the emphasis seemed to be on weighing carefully the decisions we make and the placement of God in them. Where is God when we need protection from someone, when we are at risk and helpless, when someone we love is seemingly out of control, when we promise to do better but that doesn’t matter at the moment?

As I write this I know full well that God is sovereign. I cannot know all that He knows and that is where Faith/Trust comes into play–fully into play. Over the years I’ve struggled so deeply with the above questions and even more of them. Yet, in time, I’ve experienced the overwhelming love finding freedom of past decision’s bondage where the devil’s evil had the stronghold. Helping someone let go of what is not theirs and taking steps where they ought is truly a “one day at a time” assignment. God gave Himself the name I AM and where I AM is found is always today. Lets find God Today and let go of what is not in today. Trust that tomorrow He will be in it as He is in today.
