On an episode of House Hunters, a couple flipped a coin to decide whether to buy a more expensive house or a lesser priced one. The coin landed on “tails.” That’s how NOT to make a decision. Many people place their destiny in the hands of fate instead of the hands of God. Here is God’s way to make decisions.
1. Pray for wisdom. God always knows what
we need to do, even when we don’t. James 1:5-7 says He will give direction if
we will ask in faith.
2. Consider your options.
Think through your situation and list every possible option to take. Jesus
said to first sit down, which settles down our
emotions so we can think clearly. Then calculate the cost,
which means to do a background check on the potential situation (see Luke
14:28-32).
3. Ask the Holy Spirit to point you to the right path. Psalm 32:8 says,
"I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go. I will
counsel you with My eye upon you."
4. Walk in the light you have. Sometimes it's a spotlight
while at other times it's a flicker we can barely see. Walk in the light that
God provides.
After
deciding don't look back and question your decision. Doubting yourself will only cause problems
after you have already made the correct decision. (see Luke 9:62) Remember
that decisions produce consequences. Good decisions will result in good
consequences. www.kentcrockett.blogspot.com www.makinglifecount.net
