Confidently Decisive

How many of us are confident in our decision making?  When something feels right do we just do it or do we stop for a moment and think on the principles contained in the Scriptures that help us make good decisions.  Being confidently decisive comes from knowing what God’s principles are and practicing them in all our affairs.  If we are unsure about anything, we can ask God for direction with whatever is going on and He will graciously give us the instruction we need. 

Those of us who have had a spiritual awakening will have made a decisive step to be in contact with God by reading the Bible daily.  In the past we did not know, or chose not to follow the ways of God.  Since giving our life over to the care of God we are confident that His principles are the way to a purposeful life. We have found that being decisive about what we will do when temptation comes is vital to maintaining our sobriety.  We are certain that temptation will come, and we have a plan for how we will handle it. 

Being strengthened by our faith in God and His actions on our behalf is a way to prove His favour and presence ever with us. 

This means that God accompanies us through every life situation we encounter and will strengthen us to choose to do the next right thing.  It does not mean we will never have problems.  However, with God any problem can be worked out and overcome. 

Without faith it is impossible to please God. Those who come to God must believe that he exists. And they must believe that he rewards those who look to him. (Hebrews 11:6 NIRV)

Prayer:  Loving God, In all my ways I want to be confidently decisive according to Your Word.  Please strengthen my faith in the truth of Your Word so I can consistently be an overcomer. Amen
