We are exposed on a daily basis to choices that tend to inform our decision making as to how we can navigate successfully through life. The question is, who or what informs and guides us to make the right choices concerning our lives? How do we know that these are the right choices for us? I am sure most of us have made decisions in life which have had untoward consequences and have questioned our capacity to make the right choices in life and vice versa. I have found myself in such murky situations and have also questioned my decision making ability to make the right choices for me and those around me. However in the midst of all these choices and decisions, It is insightful to remember that in 1 Chronicles 1:10 King Solomon asked God for wisdom and knowledge to rule his people and in 1 Kings 3:9 an understanding and hearing heart and the ability to discern good from evil. There is an assurance of certainty when we allow God into our decision making process based on our faith in Him so that every outcome of the decisions we make can be a part of God’s greater plan in our maturing process. The word of God says that, all things work together for good for those who love the Lord. Romans 8:28.
Let our prayer be,”Lord grant me a discerning mind and heart as I weigh all the factors in my decision making process. Help me to make the right choices to improve my lot. Grant me the grace and humility to learn from my mistakes as you continue to guide me in my maturing process so as to be a blessing to those around me”. Amen
