Decisions, Decisions

In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:6

Have you ever considered why you make decisions the way you do? Whether you “go with your gut” or engage in a rigorous analysis of your choices, what is the defining factor for how you determine the path to take?

When you truly begin to examine your decision-making process, you may be surprised to find what really drives you. Perhaps you avoid negative consequences at any cost, or maybe you are motivated by what others think. It could be that you live for the moment—seeking whatever makes you feel better. Or maybe you are simply interested in protecting yourself from pain.

Whatever your determining factor, if God is not the compass for your choices, then your decision-making skills are faulty. Only He knows the paths you should take and can provide options you may not even know are available.

So if you have a decision to make today, seek His direction. Lean on His wisdom because He will never, ever lead you astray.

Lord, thank You for guiding me in my decisions. I know Your wisdom is perfect, and whatever You lead me to do, You will also equip me to accomplish, amen.

In His presence . . . trust Him to lead you.
