Decisions Decisions


"Decision is a sharp knife that cuts clean and straight; indecision, a dull one that hacks and tears and leaves ragged edges behind it." -Gordon Graham

"What do you wanna do?" "I don't know, what do you wanna do?" "I don't care we can do whatever you wanna do" "Okay but we can do whatever..." ...Sound familiar?? Indecision is one of my biggest pet peeves. It drives me nuts when people cannot make simple decisions. If it comes down to me and everyone else says "I don't care" I will make a decision so that we are not sitting around wasting our lives wondering what to do.

This especially is for things that really don't matter that much. Seriously, just pick an option and jump on for the ride. There are definitely decisions that require much thinking and prayer, but on the little things in life, making split second decisions is what makes some of it worth living. People fear choosing the "wrong option," but the risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision

When big decisions arise a backwards step may need to be taken. Prayer and careful decision making skills need to be used, but once God reveals His wisdom to you and you know what choice you should make, make it. Do not wait around questioning Him or wondering if He is going to change His mind. I can promise you that His way is best, and that He will not change it. James warns in James 1:8 that "a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways." Stand firm on the wisdom of God and make the decisions that He calls you to make.

Challenge:  Don't waste your life in indecision. Trust God, the Holy Spirit, and choose.
