We think we have the ability to manage our life without seeking the wisdom of Jesus. Most of the time this attitude will bring misery and destruction.
This narrative deals with making decisions presuming they are in accord with God without inquiring of Him or having verification through the Bible.
You and I cannot think like God. The Holy Spirit examines our decision making to determine if our motives are correct and that we are not acting out of emotions.
We get in trouble making hasty decisions without checking in with God. Some decisions are very difficult to make and some seem like a no brainer.
We all get caught up in the rush of life and make decisions thinking they are good.
God is omniscient and sees your future. And, He knows you better than you know yourself.
As a believer, you have a safety check sealed inside you. The Holy Spirit will give you perfect wisdom and keep you out of trouble.
God sees the big picture!
The wisdom coming from Heaven is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
This is why you and I need to inquire of God in making decisions.
Begin each day with prayer and reading the Word. And, learn to take time to listen for the voice of God. You have the mind of Christ and He wants to fill you with His thoughts and bring the order of God into your life.
Lean not to your own understanding or buy into the ways of the world.
Walk under the authority of the Holy Spirit and build a strong consciousness with Him.
Jesus will never fail you if you walk in oneness with Him!
