There was a point in our life when we were just a signature away from moving from one house to another. The price was fair, it seemed a wise move. But I didn’t feel peaceful about it. To this day I can’t pinpoint the source of the discomfort. Sometimes a choice just doesn’t “feel” right; and sometimes choices do “feel” right.

When Luke justified the writing of his gospel to Theophilus, he said, “Since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you.” (Luke 1:3).

Did you notice, “it seemed good also to me?” Luke pondered his options and selected the path that “seemed good.”

Do you have a heart for God?  Heed it. Do you have a family of faith?  Consult it. Do you have a Bible?  Read it.  You have what you need to face the giant-size questions of life.  Once you’ve given your heart to God, consulted people of faith, and read the Bible, then trust your heart and do what seems right.  Who knows?  You may end up writing your own gospel story.
