When faced with two God-honoring choices, both of which are good, it can be difficult to make a decision. We are challenged to seek first the kingdom of God and make an informed decision that accomplishes the most by way of advancement of the gospel and best exalts the Lord Jesus. Prioritize the Gospel. Be Motivated by Christ's Exaltation.

Scripture explored: Acts 21; 28; 16; Philippians 1:12-21
