Decisions, Decisions...

There are lots of decisions that we make every day, and the hard part is knowing how to do God’s will in all of them! But here’s a few categories that might make it a bit easier
There are:
Trivial decisions -- What color socks am I going to wear
today?
Prudent decisions --Should I choose history or geography in school?
Righteous decisions -- Should I spread hateful gossip about someone on Facebook?

These three different categories all involve important decisions, but some have a greater impact than others, particularly those decisions of Prudence and Righteousness. The Righteous decisions are usually a lot more straight forward to make, usually. Whereas the Prudent decisions, on the other hand, are much more grey; they involve the life choices that are not necessarily right or wrong in a moral sense but are still decisions that may have important consequences for your life and direction.

“What is God's purpose for my life?” This is a big question for many folks, which can cause people to either end up "making" God say what they want to hear, or they end up just as confused and aimless as before.
Proverbs 13:6, “Righteousness guards the person of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner.”
Proverbs 16:3, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”

When you're faced with a prudent decision consider how much easier those decisions are when our focus is honoring Christ? Matthew 6:33-34, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
