Making Crucial Decisions

While common sense is not common we can still have the access to be wiser. In decision making you want to count your cost, make up your mind, align your heart and spirit and be sure you know what you are committing yourself to. There are decisions that are so crucial, like following Jesus, you know once you begin you carry your cross and follow him no turning back, no matter what. Choosing that you don’t want to turn back before you get the opportunity to turn back will brace you up for the storm. Daniel 1v 8 “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.” Daniel had purposed in his heart not to defile himself so when the opportunity came for him to drink wine he was reminded and knew he needed to ask for a special provision. He requested for it because his mind was already made up. His decision was not shaky. I believe we can have this flow to all our decision making process. Have an anchor where you can hold when the storm hits. I know sometimes life gets you to a place where you are faced with other people’s decisions and choices but if you decide, to purposely please God no matter what; you will get ahead in life without hurting yourself or a host of other people, your life will be graceful, filled with wisdom and excellence and you will be celebrated.
