Guidance for Your Decision

John 5:30-33 (The Message) "I can't do a solitary thing on my own: I listen, then I decide. You can trust my decision because I'm not out to get my own way but only to carry out orders. If I were simply speaking on my own account, it would be an empty, self-serving witness. But an independent witness confirms me, the most reliable Witness of all. Furthermore, you all saw and heard John, and he gave expert and reliable testimony about me, didn't he?

1 Corinthians 14:33 (New International Version) For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the congregations of the saints,


Have you ever made decisions that were wrong? Just like Jesus said in John, we cannot do a solitary thing own our own, we must heed God’s guidance. We can trust those decisions when they are led by Holy Spirit. Without guidance from the Lord then the decisions we make are self-serving and empty and do not testify of God’s goodness and grace. I face decisions everyday and I know many of you do as well. Do not rush into decisions, if you are confused by the choices then just wait until God gives you a clear choice. Read what God says in the Bible pertaining to similar situations, pray and ask God for His guidance and wait for it, then act on it. He will never give you bad advice, His will is for our good and His glory.

Love and God Bless,
