Every day we must make so many decisions. How do we know if we are making the right decisions and if they line up to God's Will for my life. One of the first verses I memorized as a child was Proverbs 3: 5-6 - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not to your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths." Those are words that I still hold onto today even as an older man.
How do we make right decisions?
Spiritual Considerations - How will this decision affect my relationship with God?
1. Will this decision bring glory to God?
1 Corinthians 10:31 - "Whether therefore you eat or drink, whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
2. Is this a decision that Jesus would make?
1 Peter 2:21 - "To this, you were called because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps."
3. Will I be proud of this decision at the judgment Seat of Christ?
Romans 14:10 - "You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat."
In making decisions - begin here asking: How will this decision affect my relationship with God.
Next time I will give some other considerations in making decision!
