Making Decisions

“Commit your actions to the LORD,
and your plans will succeed” (Proverbs 16:3)

Making decisions is like playing a Sudoku puzzle with a pen. Each numbers you write either puts you a little further or puts you closer from completing the puzzle. Wrong numbers lead you to downfall, and right numbers lead you to victory. Well, of course you can try again if you made any wrong decisions, but you have to work out more effort to puts it right again; so how?

Well, sometimes to make a right decision in life is simply by being faithful in the little things. God’s will for you each day is to obey and read His Word, love and serve others, and do what is right. Nothing can go wrong if you make your decisions based on God’s good will for your life. The Philosopher says, “Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take” (Proverbs 3:6NLT).

When you have been faithful over time, you will come to a point where you feel that God, in His goodness, is allowing you to choose between several good options. Stay close enough to God so that you can differentiate and recognize His leading in your life. Let your attitude be like the Psalmist, “My steps have stayed on your path; I have not waved from following you” (Psalm 17:5NLT). Friend, do this, then it will be easier (I’m not saying that it is easy) to make the right decisions!

THINK BIG. START SMALL. GO DEEP.
