Decision Making and the Holy Spirit

 

Decision making is really hard.  Is it for you, too?  You see, I cannot see all the consequences of my decisions.  I make a decision thinking, “now that was mature,”  only to find it was not really very good and led to things I did not want, or were harmful.  See my sight is short.  My thinking is self-centered.  I am weak, but think I am strong.  That frequently adds up to disaster.  I really need help in these matters.

 

Good news!  I have that help at hand all the time.  Jesus left a helper to steer me through every minute.  The Holy Spirit -- Always wise, always right, always there!  I need to not be impatient but wait for that guidance which will come in due season.  I must slow down and take notice.  I must be ready to obey.  Not easy, but part of God’s plan for me.  So, Holy Spirit, what are we doing next?
