Day 21 Making the Right decisions

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him James 1:5 Some decisions are easy to make because the consequences of those decisions are small. Some decisions on the other hand are big..very big. If your facing one of those big decisions, here are some things you can do: 1 gather as much information as you can: don't expect to get all the facts- that's impossible- but get as many facts as you can in a reasonable amount of time. (proverbs 24:3-4)2. Don't be too impulsive: If you have time to make a decisions, use that time to make a good decision.(proverbs 19:2) 3. Rely on the advice of trusted friends & mentors. Proverbs 1:5 makes it clear: A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel. 4. Pray for guidance. When you seek it, He will give it (Luke 11:9) 5. Trust the quiet inner voice of your conscience: Treat your conscience as you would a trusted advisor(Luke 17:21) 6. When the time for action arrives, act. Procrastination is the enemy of progress; don't let it defeat you (James 1:22) People who can never quite seem to make up their minds usually make themselves miserable. So when in doubt, be decisive. Its the decent way to live. There may be no trumpet sound or loud applause when we make a right decision, just a calm sense of resolution and peace.
