Read Pro. 18: 17-18
When two people disagree on a decision and need help then they need to go to a qualified uninvolved party and get them to listen to the story. They can give you an unbiased answer. Of course, the first place you should go is the Word. There is usually some scenario you can find that can relate but if not then God provided some other ways to find out what he would will. The priest carried two rocks in their breast plate that had yes on one and not on the other. When the priest wanted to have an answer from God he would reach in his pocket and pick a rock. What ever it said was God's answer. This was called the umin and the thumin. In other cases they chose lots which was a lot like drawing sticks in our day. This way there would be no way to cheat and God would determine the outcome. They reserved these means for serious decisions like whether to go to war or not. Maybe we should adopt drawing lots when we have a serious decision to make. The lot is not partial. There are so many different ways to get an answer from God. One of the best ways is to train your spiritual ear to hear his voice then ask for a confirmation in his word. God loves to speak to us and commune with us we just have to learn how to be receivers.
Lord, train us to hear your voice and discern your ways.
