Have you ever second guessed yourself in something that you have said, in a job that you are doing or in making a decision? Second guessing is when we question a decision that has already been made. I have done a lot of secong guessing on a job that I have been doing for a customer. This customer expects complete perfction which I am unable to fulfill.

I am doing some plaster (mudding) for this customer and every morning when I go to his house, I find areas or spots circled with pencil marks. Some are legitimate but  others are impossible to see, even with bright lights. Perfection is almost impossible to achieve, however; this person expects perfection. I’ve gone as far as to bring in a person, who has 30 year experience to look at my work. His comment ” a good job!”

While dealing with the above, I’ve been thinking about my Christlike walk in relation to second guessing.

Jesus said, John 16:13   But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.”

There have been many instances, in my life, where I have said or done something and that still small voice  speaks ( I like to call it my born again conscience) to me and leads me to “second guess.”

I am amazed at the number of articles and books that have been written on this subject.

A work in progress..Please feel free to comment
