Making Decisions
by

Think about what is going on in your life. Are there
things
that you are really excited about? Or, are there things that
you really are not too excited about? There are usually
decisions you have made that led up to your current
circumstances.
We are always making decisions in some fashion and a lot of
decisions are relatively minor. Like what to have for dinner
tonight. But, if we want to live our dreams, we will have to
get out of the boat and take some real chances.
Some people are born decision makers and others aren't. This
is a plus and a minus for both parties. If you are a
decision maker, you tend to be quite productive, but also
you could get in over your head, especially if you are
really risky. If you are not a decision maker, you play it
safe. This can keep you out of trouble, but also you are
less likely to achieve your dreams by being this way.
Many times, we are forced to make decisions without knowing
the exact outcome. Should we remain undecisive in those
cases? Absolutely not.
When we find ourselves in a position to make a decision
without all the facts, pray about it first and then seek
council from someone who has been there... and then decide!
There is a cause and effect to everything. You think a
thought, and then you decide whether or not to act upon that
thought. If you act upon it, there will be a result. If you
do not act upon it, there will also be a result.
God, in His infinite wisdom, allows us to make our own
decisions. Those decisions then, will decide what direction
our lives take. Where we wind up will always be a result of
our decisions.
We have all acted upon some poor decisions and made some
regrettable mistakes in our past, but the key is to not sulk
in them. Make a new decision to move on!
Let a good anger rise up inside of you, get some good
council, make some decisions and stick to them. You won't
see results immediately, but if you are patient, things may
begin to turn around in a big way. Just continue to believe
despite the circumstances! James 1:6-7 says, "For he who
doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the
wind. Let not that man suppose that he will receive anything
from the Lord."
