Spend time in the Bible to know what God’s opinion on various matters is, then trust that He will lead you into the right path you need to take in your decision.Enjoy these encouraging bible verses to remind you just how loved, worthy and enough you are! Otherwise you won’t know what the right choice is. Remember though, that this promise is to those who are pleasing and right in the sight of God. When it comes down to choosing between two good choices and God does not give any clear direction, then the final step indicates that you can choose the one you most desire.
Work through the previous steps and God will show you the right decision. There are times when you have to choose between two excellent options. While there are many decisions that involve a choice between right and wrong, that is not always the case. The following verse says that if you will then commit that desire to Him, He will bring it to pass. If you have the desires that He wants you to have, then you will receive what you desire. This could be read, “He will give you what you desire,” or “He will give you the right desires.” Ultimately I think these are the same thing. If you delight in Him, He will give you your desires. But notice that verse 4 comes with a condition. I think these verses are often used to say that God will give you anything you want. The Bible says to delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4, 5). Trust that He has done this enough to know exactly what you need and when you need it. God doesn’t always answer or give direction on our time-table. Trust that He will reveal His will when it is time.
Allow God to take His time in showing you. Stretch Your FaithĮven after each of the previous steps you may not know the final decision you should make. Use the church as God intended: a support network for Christians. Part of the function of the church is to support one another. Having other people at your side to help counsel you is wise and godly according to Proverbs 15:22 and 24:6. We need others to help us work through the different aspects of our decision. There are times when a decision is much bigger than we can comprehend. It may be something difficult to do, but the promise is that as you obey the Lord, you will have blessings in your life.
When you finally make the decision you know is right, then accept what the Lord has shown you and do what is right in the situation. God wants to bless us, but blessings only come through obedience (Deuteronomy 11:26-29). Sometimes we don’t make decisions a spiritual matter or a subject of prayer because we are afraid of how God will lead. What is the dominant association of the activity? If people see you doing it, will they immediately think you are involved in something inappropriate for a Christian? If so, then you should not participate. We are told in 1 Thessalonians 5:22 to abstain from activities that have the appearance of evil. In fact, the Bible goes as far as to say that engaging in an activity when you are not convinced it is the right thing to do is sin.Īssociation Principle: We should not associate ourselves with that which is (or may be) inappropriate. According to Romans 14:21 and 23 we should not engage in activities if we are unsure as to whether it is appropriate. There are many different principles, but I want to highlight a couple.ĭoubt Principle: When you are unsure as to whether an activity is right or wrong, the Doubt Principle says that you should not do the activity. When there is not a clear command that is to be obeyed, then God has given us principles in His Word that we should apply.
