 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Prodigal, what happened?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 I hurt my hoof and now I have this crutch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0\u00a0 Sorry to hear that, is it painful?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Yes, and I am a little discouraged at the moment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 I have some wisdom from Discerning the Right Decision by Gaspar Anastasi that\u00a0 may help you.<\/p>\n

Hold off making a judgment until you know you are seeing things clearly from God’s perspective.\u00a0 If you get discouraged and make decisions based on discouragement, you may stop blessings God has for you.\u00a0 Your circumstances are subject to change at any moment.\u00a0 Hold on.\u00a0 Don’t make a permanent decision based on temporary circumstances.\u00a0 God is well able to take what looks like a disaster right now and turn it into a tremendous blessing tomorrow.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes we feel pressured into making a decision quickly, especially if we think things are going in the wrong direction.\u00a0 Wait.\u00a0 Go to the Lord.<\/p>\n

There is more going on then we may be able to see.\u00a0 God has a habit of working behind the scenes.\u00a0 Just wait and see how God is working behind the scenes.\u00a0 I know God is working and this is just to encourage you that He is right now!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Colossians 1:17<\/p>\n

And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.<\/p>\n
