DECISIONS

DECISIONS

The wrong decision can destroy you and your love ones.

When you make a decision, you should identify all

possible alternatives.  God’s word can be your counselor,

(Psalm 119:24).  When you make a decision, turn to the

Lord for wisdom and discernment.  Pray about your

decision and seek the counsel of others.  You can learn a

lot from older and more experienced people.  Without

counsel, your decision can go awry, (Proverbs 15:22). 

You can get counseling from your parents, teachers, pastors

or even someone who is your mentor.  In making your

decision you need to ask, “What would be the consequences

of my decision and can I live with that?”  You can also ask

the question, “How will this decision impact the people in my

life?”  When you make your decision your heart should not

condemn your decision, (1 John 3:21).  God’s peace in your

heart will let you know that you have made the right decision,

(Philippians 4:7).  Before you make your decision, pray.  Think

about the outcome of your choice.  Think about the ramifications

of your decision.  Be ready to take the responsibility for the

consequences of your decision.  Keep God first in your decision.
