James 1:6-8 – ” But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him. But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing. For he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed. For do not let that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, not dependable in all his ways.”
Today, our Heavenly Father wants to inspire us to be wise and decisive in all our endeavours. There are three kinds of people with respect to decision making: the undecisive, the double-minded, and the decisive.
Life as we know is full of decisions. We have to constantly take actions and reactions to what life throws at us. Apostle James instructs us to pray to God for wisdom and be single-minded in our decisions.
The undecisive person is one who does not make up his mind on what to do. He neither plans nor takes precautionary measures in life. He is always taken by surprise because he has not been proactive. This is a sure recipe for failure in life.
The doubleminded person is never sure of his decisions. Usually, it happens so because of lack of adequate information and courage. A doubleminded person is unstable in his ways; he is always busy but inefficient.
The decisive person is proactive and takes precautionary measures to handle the pressures of life. However, such a person may make very unwise and costly mistakes; hence the need to ask God for wisdom for daily living.
I want to ask you which category you fall into? Many a time, our indecisiveness or unwise decisions cause us to miss, or destroy what God has planned for us. We ought to be patient and wise in our decisions; may God help us all, Amen.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, please grant me the patience, wisdom, and passion to take wise decisions and act upon them. Help me to learn from my mistakes, and make the best of all you give me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
