The scriptural and psychological bases for making decisions
Theme Scripture: James 1:19
Excerpt:
We make decisions all the time. Some are big and significant life-altering choices and most others are small, often unnoticed and even insignificant. What most influences our decisions – reason, emotion or expediency? What about laziness versus discipline? Can we make better decisions? If so, how?
This question seems easy enough to give a good answer to. Assuming one is following after the teachings of Paul; which he obtained from Christ Jesus, then their steps are direct by the Lord. Psa_37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delights in his way.
However! What does it take for one to be considered righteous? It takes first, the blessing of the Spirit of God upon such a one; in order that they may obtain the necessary spiritual knowledge to be in such a state. This in return requires that an individual be spiritually seeking the guidance of the Spirit of Christ Jesus. I did not say, Jesus Christ; however, in that position He was still walking in with the Spirit of His Father.
