Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement…Difficult decisions—we all face them, but how do we know when the painful choice is actually the right one? In this thought-provoking devotional, I share a personal story from my management days at Macy's flagship store in New York that taught me something profound about leadership and sacrifice.When my team faced dangerous working conditions in a sweltering sub-basement stockroom, I had to choose between preserving my spotless record or fighting for their wellbeing. Samuel's leadership journey mirrors this tension perfectly. After successfully restoring Israel's relationship with God and defeating the Philistines, Samuel faces heartbreak when the people reject divine leadership in favor of a human king. God's response is stunning: "It is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king." Yet even in this painful moment, God allowed a decision He knew would bring suffering. The parallels are unmistakable. Sometimes what appears to be a setback or loss becomes the very pathway to our greatest blessing. As Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Whether you're facing a difficult workplace decision, family challenge, or spiritual crossroads, this devotional will encourage you to trust God's perfect perspective, even when the right choice comes with a personal cost. Listen now and discover how God uses our hardest moments to bring about His perfect plan.Key Passages:Proverbs 3:5-61 Samuel 7-8Follow me on Substack for application questions & reflection on each episode.
