I had a crucial decision to make yesterday and agonised back and forth about it. Midway through I listened to a podcast episode that clarified so many things for me and gave me a framework to weigh up either side.
- First to be sure that I am in right standing with God and that’s obvious to make sure that I am in a place to hear from Him, to speak and have that conversation with Him.
- Then, listen to Godly counsel. Similar minded people also submitted to God and walking in the faith. Ask them to pray along and confirm what God is saying to me.
- What I am hearing from God and Godly counsel, is it aligned with Scripture? God’s true and living word?
After all this, step out in faith and trust God with the fallout from the decision made. Only God knows and He can see our hearts, we can trust Him always. So I have done that and I realised it was the fallout from the decision that was crippling me and once I stepped out, there was peace in my heart.
How do you make decisions?
