The way we go about making decisions is usually just as important as the decisions we make. If our decision-making process is flawed so will our decisions be.
Here are four Biblical principles for making Godly decisions that you can apply to just about any decision in life.
1. Always seek to glorify God. In everything we do and especially in our decisions – seek to glorify God. Matthew 5: 16 states, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your father who is in heaven.” With every decision we make we should ask ourselves, “Will this glorify God?”
2. Pray for God’s clear guidance and direction. How many times do we just rush into a quick decision without even praying about it? Check out Proverbs 3:5-6. The Bible warns us against running out ahead of God and just relying on our own understanding. God desperately to help us, to love us, and to guide us through life’s toughest decisions.
3. Weigh every decision against God’s Word. Many believers struggle with this one simply because we do not take time to read and know God’s Word. God’s Word is suppose to abide in our hearts. If we don’t know ANYTHING
or just very little about God’s Word we’re going to make very bad decisions.
4. Consider the results and the consequences. How many times do we make short-sighted or quick decisions without really thinking them through? How many times do we make decisions without really weighing out what the results or the consequences may be. Check out Luke 14:28. God has given us a brain to use and the Holy Spirit to guide us! Before you make your next decision – think it ALL THE WAY through!!!
