Making Wise Decisions

Life is a series of decisions. God has given each of us the ability to make decisions. Some people are hesitant to make any decisions. They are afraid of making the wrong decision. Some even go so far as letting others make their decisions. Sad but true, their lives are controlled by the choices of others.

You need help in making wise decisions. You may ask friends for their opinion. Then you may struggle and fret over the right opinion. However, there is a better way. You have a friend to help you with every choice. Wisdom is your friend. Wisdom will never lead you to make the wrong decision. Wisdom comes from God.

Wisdom is there for you. Wisdom, however, will never force its guidance on you. Ask God for wisdom in every decision you make. He promises to give you wisdom. "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5).

Understand that wisdom never comes to you alone. Wisdom always comes with peace. They are constant companions. The wisdom of God comes to you with the peace of God. They always work together. "But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable" (James 3:17). Peace will always confirm wisdom. In making decisions, let wisdom and peace work for you.
