Acts 17:11
Making Decisions
1. All Decisions should be made in prayer.
Ephesians 6:18, "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit”
2. All Decisions should be made in wisdom
James 1:5, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."
3. All Decisions should be made in Faith.
James 1:6-8, "But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."
TEST: We make decisions daily, all day from what we think about to what we do. When we make decisions we should make them as quickly as possible and move forward on the decision made, when made in faith. The test of a decision made in faith is found in our mental reaction after the decision is made if we are unsure and wavering; if we are tossed concerning our decision like driftwood we need to reflect whether a decision has been made in faith. Decisions made in faith are made believing.
Romans 8:28, "And we know that all (Decisions) work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." (MPV)
Any decision we make in faith (Faith is the God pleasing factor) will work together for God’s Good and according to His purpose. We must Decide and Do moving forward, looking to see God work based upon the choice we made.
Hebrews 11:6, "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
