MAKING WISE DECISIONS

Humans are social creatures who tend to gravitate towards others for protection,  comfort, and instruction . But all relationship  are not edifying. If I’m honest, some of my biggest missed opportunities have resulted from a reliance on bad advice from well meaning friends and some mean spirited frenemies.

Real wisdom is defined as knowing the right path and having the courage not to stray. Real understanding and discernment requires supernatural God power.

After years wrestling with big decisions, I no longer seek the counsel of friends and family first. These days I ask God. How? I sit in my walk in closet, light a fragrant candle, and present the question to God. Sometimes it takes a few days before I get an answer. Sometimes it takes a few months. But so long as I am doing my best to live obediently, God will answer.

Proverbs 2:6 For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

It’s a promising, darling.
