A Daily Devotional About wisdom to make godly decisions…. 2 Chronicles 1:11 God said to Solomon,
"Since this is your heart's desire and you have not asked for wealth,
riches or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked
for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I
have made you king, 12 therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I
will also give you wealth, riches and honor, such as no king who was before you
ever had and none after you will have." (NIV) Every moment of your life
is filled with decisions. Many moments are filled with decisions to postpone
making a decision. Even the decision to postpone making a decision is still a
decision. When we are faced with deciding what to do, we must look to Christ to
see His direction. Often we do not know what Christ wants from us on a specific
matter. We often make decisions on matters not clearly defined. We must often
make decisions when God's will is not clearly known. In times of uncertainty, we
must pray diligently the Lord's hand will direct and guide us in whatever we
decide to do. We must pray we will always do what the Lord wants, even when we
have no clear message from Him. We must remember God does have a will for us.
God does have a design plan for us to follow. There are times in our life when
we are hammered with frustrations, temptations, and stresses trying to corrode
our soul. If we give into these dark influences, we are cast into the deepest
pits of failure. Our desire for making successful decisions must be based upon
our desire to please God and Him alone. As we desire to please God and not
ourselves, God's success system takes over and works to our advantage. |
