– Boldly making the best decision I can and learning from what happens –
It can be hard to make big decisions because we always want to make the right decisions. Thankfully, we can ask God to be a part of all the decisions we make – whether they are big or small. The fact is, God wants to be a part of our decision making process because He cares about all we do.
Decisiveness is making a decision with boldness and not being afraid of what will happen. We can be confident of our decisions when we make decisions that God would like. Sometimes we make bad decisions even when we are trying to do the right thing but when that happens we can just learn from our mistakes and make a better decision next time. Everyone makes the wrong decision sometimes but wise people will learn from their bad decisions and keep doing their best to follow God!
“Who is the man who fears the LORD? God will teach him the path he should choose.” – Psalm 25:12
