Many people base their decisions on one of two emotions; love or fear. A decision based on emotions is destined to fail. Our emotions change given the situation. Although our emotions can change quickly, the decisions we make based on our emotions can have a long-term effect on our lives.
Even if a decision is based on love doesn’t mean it was the correct decision. God wants us at a place where our decisions are based on total obedience to Him.
Obedience to God includes a decision check. We should ask ourselves these 3 questions.
1. Is my decision Rooted in The Word of God?
If our decisions are not rooted in something eternal, they are destined to eventually fail.
2. Is my decision Led by The Spirit?
When we arrive at a place where the Holy Spirit leads and guides our steps, the pressure is off of us because it’s up to Him to make that particular situation work.
3. Am I at Peace?
If we don’t have peace after making a decision, the Holy Spirit is convicting our hearts trying let us know our decision needs to be revised.
In conclusion, our obedience to God should determine our decisions.
Psalm 25:12 Who are those who fear the LORD? He will show them the path they should choose.
