Have you ever felt you had to “do something” but you had no idea what to do? Maybe you thought doing nothing would make you look stupid or indecisive. Truth is, doing nothing is a choice, and sometimes it’s a very wise choice.
Good reasons for doing nothing include:
- Waiting for more information
- Taking time to calm down so you can think clearly
- Giving your wife time to calm down
- Taking time to think through the issue carefully, praying about it, and maybe sleeping on it
- Giving your wife time to think through things, pray, and sleep on it
- Getting advice from others
- Waiting for God to move on your heart
- Waiting for God to move on your wife’s heart
Waiting is often a valid choice, and if it isn’t included in your options, you’re dealing with a false choice. Happy is he who does not rush to make a choice before the proper time.
