DECISIONS, DECISIONS

Scientists tell us that we are all pretty poor about making decisions... if left to our own devices we can make many bad decisions.

Many authors have tackled this problem and given lots of helpful insight into the how of making decisions? But we still feel uncertain.....is this really the best decision?

I love this quote:
I think that when you get dressed in the morning, sometimes you're really making a decision about your behavior for the day. Like if you put on flipflops, you're saying: 'Hope I don't get chased today.' 'Be nice to people in sneakers.'
-Demetri Martin

With such humour we can relax into a decision of what to wear but some decisions are humongous, they may change life as we know it, in fact they are a 'crossroads' and as we are all familiar with crossroads, a bad decision here can lead to an accident of note!

Crossroads of Life

What happens when
You approach
The crossroads of Life?
Do you stumble?
Do you hesitate?
Unsure which path’s got the least strife?


Or do you just
Trust your instincts
And go with the flow?
Or do you fight them
Struggling for something different,
For some unknown you don’t know?


Such is the power
Of the crossroads
To make even a grown man tremble;
The most confident,
The most arrogant
Even those, at the crossroads, fumble…


To be or not to be,
To do or not to do,
The question of the hour’s not that;
It is to choose one
And to forget the rest,
Cause you’ve made your choice that…


The crossroads of Life
A boon as well as a bane
A future full of either happiness or regrets
Looms over each individual
Sometime or other in their life,
And the choice they make, they can never forget…

-Sabiha

Popular wisdom states: "There are no sign posts on the crossroads of life."

We need true wisdom for this one.

This is what the LORD says: "Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, Godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. - Jeremiah 6:16

1. Stand and look around.....take you time.......make sure you take in all that is involved.
2. Ask for the old, Godly way or "ancient paths"
The word “ancient” comes from a Hebrew word “olam” meaning: Old, concealed, hidden, perpetual, eternal, timeless, from eternity.
3. Ask for the good way..........we all want a good decision.
4. Quietly accept God's wisdom.

Q.What is the test that the right decision has been made?
A. You will find rest for your soul.......

Shalom
