Bible Study - Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

Decisions, decisions, decisions. We are always making SOME sort of decision! It may be something as simple as what to get your best friend for their birthday, or something as difficult as what you want to do for the rest of your life! Whatever it is, you have some decision to make today that you may not have an answer to. The Bible says in James 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." Okay... how does that apply to this? Well, when you're making a decision, you need to have wisdom. How many of you know that if you are foolish, you are NOT going to be making good decisions. Wisdom comes from God. In Proverbs 2:1 says "For the Lord gives wisdom;  from his mouth come knowledge and understanding." So since wisdom comes from God, if the solution you are thinking of for your problem doesn't line up with other things the Bible about problems like yours, than it's probably not the wisest decision. It may hold you up for a little while, but it will only be a band-aid on the problem. When it comes down to it, the problem will not be good. This is why I encourage you all to ask God for his wisdom when you're making decisions. Matthew 7:7 says "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." So not only does God hold all the wisdom you need to know the right choice to make, but he'll give it to you if you ask him for it! How cool is that! So, the next time you run into a hard decision, look at what the Bible says about the situation, and ask God for wisdom to see which is the better choice.
