Big decisions are nerve-wracking. So, how to make better decisions?
Examine God’s word. Does the decision you are considering fall in line with the clear teaching of Scripture? If not, don’t do it. It doesn’t matter how good the decision looks or how great a promise it is supposed to be, or how much it will enrich you, or how happy it will make you. If it doesn’t line up with God’s word, the answer should be no.
Why? Because doing anything that falls outside the teaching of the Scriptures is only going to end in pain. There’s going to be some consequence that you’re only going to regret later. You’ll end up saying, “If only…”
So, read a little bit of the Bible everyday. Don’t feel guilty for not reading the entire New Testament on Monday and the entire Old Testament on Tuesday. Just read a little bit everyday.
What you’ll find is the more you read from the Bible, the more you’ll become familiar with God’s guidance for your life. As you read, let it grow into your heart. Then, it will begin to bear fruit in your life. When you’re faced with a decision, God’s word will come to your mind and you’ll know the kind of direction God wants you to take.
