Are you a good decision maker? The process by which we make decisions in our lives is often haphazard and frustrating. But God has a better plan in mind for us. Join us as we discover a practical framework from the Bible for making great decisions—plus key questions to ask and steps to take to ensure your choices lead to God’s best for you.
Keys to Great Decisions
I will instruct you and guide you along the best pathway for your life; I will advise you and watch your progress. Don't be like a senseless horse or mule that has to have a bit in its mouth to keep it in line! Psalm 32:8-9 (TLB)
God's Guidelines for Great Decisions
1. Relax
Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for GOD's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track. Proverbs 3:5-6 (MSG)
2. Be Willing to Obey in Advance
My God, I want to do what you want. Psalm 40:8a (NCV)
3. Get Outside Help
A. Pray First
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Philippians 4:6a (NLT)
B. Search the Scriptures
Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (MSG)
C. Do Your Research
Get the facts at any price, and hold on tightly to all the good sense you can get. Proverbs 23:23 (TLB)
D. Get Godly Advice
Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many counselors bring success. Proverbs 15:22 (NLT)
4. Consider My Desires
Seek your happiness in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desire. Psalm 37:4 (TEV)
He fulfills the desires of those who reverence and trust him; he hears their cries for help and rescues them. Psalm 145:19 (TLB)
