Topic: Why Decision Making Is Sooo Important In Our Lives? It Is Either Building Us Up Or Breaking Down Our Character.
Daniel 1:8 & 11. But Daniel made up his mind not to eat the food and wine given to them by the king. But he asked for only vegetables and water.
Daniel's decision was a tough, delicate, challenging and most importantly a costly decision.
He took a decision to refrain from taking special rich food and Wine π·. He took another decision to take vegetables and water....
We avoid to take costly decisions in life and make shortcuts, and burn our fingers later...
Well our life either moves forward Or backward based on decisions we make in our day to day life.
Good decisions will progress us and move us forward.
Bad or wrong decisions will take us backward, derail us and harm us too.
Indecision will keep you there stagnant while others of your peer group keep moving forward and higher.
We make so many choices and decisions of life. Some are very important 'life time decisions'.
For eg. A student who passed her or his 10th class exam has to take a decision based on his or her liking and strength, to join intermediate college. Wat they choose determines what they would like to become.
Another choice, Employment. Which job to take?
Another decision, Marriage? Whom to marry?
There is a familiar quote regarding Marriage. "By all means if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad wife, you'll become a philosopher."
The decisions we make demonstrate our values. A good leader will make right and positive decisions.
John Maxwell, an American author, speaker and pastor who wrote several books, primarily focusing on leadership says, "Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you."
As a christian when we honor God through our decisions, God will grant us a favour and will make a happy and perfect way for us.
There are several examples where God blessed them who honored God with their decisions, and God's favour has taken them to the pinnacle of unexpected glory and blessings.
All of us face 100s of decisions to make in our life. What decisions we take every day will either prosper us with His favour and blessings or destroy us.
This is a quote which I always quote when I share with all. Irrespective of who we are - student, or aspiring to get a job, rich, poor, strong, weak, Pastor, teacher, working in a company, old age, middle age or youth this quote is a fact and truth and no one can deny it -
"What you are today is the choices that you made till yesterday; what you will be tomorrow will be the choice you make today."
Let us understand from the quote, there is still bright future still ahead. Not Everything is lost. The decisions you make TODAY will make your tomorrow."
Any decision we take, we ought to think within us, "is this decision that I make brings honor or dishonor to God?"
Tomorrow we will see how some men and women of God who took some costly and challenging decisions and how God honored them.
Help us Lord to fill our lives with thy divine Word fully so that thy Word guides us perfectly to take correct and godly decisions in life....
If you are blessed with devotion you are welcome to share with us.
God bless! ππ»ββοΈπππ
