MAKING DECISIONS AS A CHRISTIAN

How do I know when I am making the right decision? Prov 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your path”
There are people who are of the opinion that when they feel good about a decision, it’s the right one. Feeling good about a decision has nothing to do with it being right or wrong. You can make a good decision and feel bad about it and you can make a bad decision and feel good about it. So it’s got nothing to do with how you feel.
What you need is the knowledge of God’s Word and a good relationship with the Holy Spirit. When you give yourself to the Word of God and yield to the prompting of the Spirit of God, you’d always be guided in every situation to make decision that are consistent with God’s will and purpose for you. And if it requires that you talk to someone, you can discuss with your Pastor, because pastoral guidance could be of help in certain situations. Apart from that, there are times when fellow Christians can confirm certain decision without us necessarily telling them about the situation. From our daily interactions and discussions from the scriptures, the Spirit of God speaks through them. That’s why it’s important that you keep company with people who love the Lord just like you. With them, you will always be in that safe place where the Spirit of God will continually minister to you……….

.....THINKING IS NOT WORRY...part 1. Most often people tend to misinterprete or confuse both as though they are the same but in reality they are not. .....THINK... To think means to ponder, to go over in one's head. It means to communicate to oneself in one's mind, to find solutions to problems. It means to conceive of something or someone. ....WORRY....... It means to disturb the peace of mind, afflict with mental agitation or distress. It means to be troubled, to give way to mental anxiety. Anxiety is an unpleasant state of mental uneasiness, nervousness, apprehension and obsession or concern about some uncertain event. Thinking has to do with strategizing,planning but worry is a form thought that has been blown out of proportion resulting to mental anxiety since the imaginations formed reveal hopelessness.
