Decisions have a way of making our lives bounce in many directions. We choose to do certain things for survival, spiritual and fun reasons. Some decisions can counter balance other decisions and when they come up at the same time, it creates Kaos and disorder if not properly thought out. I do not like these types of decisions. They are the momentous ones that can change lives with friends and family, acquaintances and people you don't even know....yet! In making the decision, we can anger some people and make others happy. So, what do you do? I know for me I have to rely on the one. The being that so much enhances our lives. It makes us change directions and head down another path.
Relying on God, for me is a no brainer. Sometimes, when we humbly come to him in prayer, we get the easy answers we want to hear. Other times, he makes us be patient and drives us gradually to the decision he wants us to make. It doesn't always end favorably for the decider either. We do things because we want to, or have to, or need to do them. He provides us the catalyst needed to choose which way we should go.
As a human being, we also make decisions based on emotion. Choosing to go our path and in spite of the encouragement to go another direction, we go what we think is the easiest and fastest answer. Sure, it works out to start with, everyone's happy and for a time, things work pretty well. Then the wall caves in and somebody gets hurt, or frustrated. Giving in to these types of decisions can ruin friendships, relationships with family and even spouses if not handled properly.
It's always important to research each decision we make to see how it effects those around us. If in fact, it helps most involved, then indeed we choose the likely answer. Sometimes, we must think of the one instead but not to the detriment of our own futures and successes.
So, in closing, remember to be smart and prayerful about your decisions, even those small daily ones that seem so automatic
