•

Author/Editor: Melkisedeck Leon Shine, 2015-2017: AckySHINE.com

Making decisions can often be a daunting task, as we are faced with numerous options and possibilities. However, as Christians, we are fortunate to have the guidance of the Bible to help us navigate through the complexities of decision-making. The Bible provides us with timeless wisdom and spiritual advice that can aid us in making wise choices. Here are 15 Bible verses to inspire and guide you in your decision-making process:

Proverbs 3:5-6 - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." This verse reminds us to trust in God's guidance and seek His wisdom in all our decisions.
Psalm 119:105 - "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Just like a lamp illuminates our path in the darkness, the Bible illuminates our decisions, providing us with clarity and direction.
James 1:5 - "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." When faced with difficult decisions, we can always turn to God and ask for His wisdom, knowing that He will generously provide it.
Matthew 6:33 - "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." This verse reminds us to prioritize God's kingdom and righteousness in our decision-making, trusting that He will provide for our needs.
Proverbs 16:3 - "Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established." By aligning our decisions with God's will and entrusting our plans to Him, He will establish our thoughts and guide us towards good outcomes.
Matthew 7:7 - "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." This verse encourages us to actively seek God's guidance through prayer and persistence, knowing that He will answer our prayers.
Isaiah 30:21 - "Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, 'This is the way, walk in it,' whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left." God promises to guide us and speak to us, showing us the right path to take.
Proverbs 11:14 - "Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." Seeking advice from wise and godly individuals can provide us with different perspectives and insights, helping us make more informed decisions.
Romans 12:2 - "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." As Christians, we are called to renew our minds and align our thoughts with God's will, enabling us to discern His perfect plan for our lives.
Proverbs 16:9 - "A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps." We can make our plans, but it is ultimately God who directs our paths. Trusting in His guidance ensures that our decisions are aligned with His purpose for our lives.
Philippians 4:6-7 - "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." By surrendering our worries and anxieties to God, we can experience His peace in the midst of decision-making.
Matthew 10:16 - "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves." Jesus teaches us the importance of wisdom and discernment in decision-making, reminding us to be cautious and prudent in our choices.
Proverbs 15:22 - "Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors, they are established." Seeking advice from others, especially those who are godly and wise, can help us make sound decisions and avoid potential pitfalls.
Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." God has good plans for our lives, and through seeking His guidance, we can step into the future He has prepared for us.
Ephesians 5:17 - "Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is." The Bible consistently encourages us to seek God's will and understand His desires for our lives. By doing so, we can make choices that align with His purpose for us.

In conclusion, the Bible offers us invaluable wisdom and guidance when it comes to decision-making. By trusting in God, seeking His counsel, and aligning our choices with His Word, we can make wise decisions that honor Him and lead to blessings in our lives. So, let us love God, believe in Him, love one another, and trust in His providence. May God bless you abundantly as you seek His wisdom in your decision-making journey. 🙏✨
