Seek God's Presence or Stay Confused.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. Ps 32:8
All most all the times
our decisions and deeds do affect others, and our own selves. The consequences
are inevitable. Tolerance and patience will practice us make better decisions. We need to ask ourselves the following questions before we make
decisions.
Bad decision means bad
future.
So in order to take right and good decisions,
we got to go in line with scriptures. Seek His face or stay confused.
1. WILL IT BRING GLORY TO GOD ? - 1 Cor
10:31 “whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” God must be taken as
the first concern in all that we do.
2. WILL IT BE PROFITABLE? 1 Cor 10:23 “Everything is permissible-but not
everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"-but not
everything is constructive.” Our decisions should profit my Christian life, my
witnessing life or my family life.
3. WILL IT EDIFY? 2 Cor 10:8 “… the Lord gave us for building
you up rather than pulling you down,…” Our decisions should build our character
or the family and the church in general.
4. WILL IT ENSLAVE ME ? 1 Cor 6:12 "Everything is permissible for
me"-but I will not be mastered by anything.” Our decisions should not
bring us to slavery.
5. WILL IT CHARACTERISTIC OF THE WORLD (or) OF THE LORD? 1 John 2:16 “For everything in the world — the
cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has
and does — comes not from the Father but from the world.” Let our decisions
show forth the attributes of God and not of the world.
Isaiah 55:8-9 “Indeed, my plans are not like your plans, and my deeds are not like your deeds.
PRAYER :- Father, help me in my decisions. Amen -
