Making Wise Decisions

Knowing how to make wise decisions is so important. Our decisions in life have consequences for years to come. Our decisions also affect the lives of others. God has provided resources for us to make wise decisions.

In making wise decisions, consider your conscience. God has made you with the ability to know the difference between right and wrong. God made you as a moral being with a conscience to guide you. Listen to your "conscience also bearing witness" (Romans 2:15). Never ignore your conscience, if you want to make wise decisions.

Most importantly in making decisions, consider the wisdom of God in your Bible. There you will find practical guidance which will always lead you in making decisions. You can say to God, "Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path" (Psalm 119:105).

God's Spirit will lead you in making wise decisions. He lives in the heart and mind of every believer in Christ. The Holy Spirit brings the gift of wisdom from God to us. His wisdom always brings peace and defeats confusion. "Let the peace of God rule in your hearts" (Colossians 3:15). God's Spirit will always lead you to make wise decisions.
