The paradox of choice brings us to the crossroads which is: do I accept the obvious evidence of the decree of god in my circumstance, and to do so with equanimity, with poise, quietness of heart and mind, or do I cry out to god to change my fate, knowing what mercies god may have already embedded in this circumstance?
Ever feel overwhelmed by the choices you have to make, especially when it comes to doing the right thing? In this episode of 'Beside Still Waters', Christian Javois dives into the paradox of choice and how it can be a tricky puzzle for those aiming to live a life that honors God. Using the story of King Hezekiah as a backdrop, Javois illustrates the complexities of making decisions that benefit everyone while staying true to divine principles.
King Hezekiah, who dedicated his life to walking with Jehovah, faced a significant dilemma when he was given extra years to live but also foresaw his descendants' downfall. This narrative sets the stage for exploring how following God's path can ease the burden of tough choices and bring peace. Javois delves into the ever-present element of risk in our lives and how it's intertwined with every decision we make.
He questions whether it's possible to avoid the negative consequences that often accompany self-interested choices. According to Javois, sometimes we need to let go of personal gains to reduce harm and glorify God. Throughout the episode, Javois underscores the value of seeing things from a divine perspective and placing our trust in the Lord. He reflects on how Jesus himself faced the ultimate paradox of choice, sacrificing his life for humanity's sake.
Love, Javois suggests, is the key attribute of God that helps us navigate these difficult decisions. By trusting in God's plan and letting go of our own desires, we can find peace amidst life's challenges and make choices that honor God. Tune in to 'Beside Still Waters' for an enlightening discussion on how to handle life's conundrums with divine wisdom.
