FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 30 (KJV)

Our choices and decisions affect the quality of our lives. They impact our lives either for good or ill. That is why we need to make good decisions at all times so we do not live with regrets throughout the journey of destiny.

Making good decisions begins with discerning the will of God and not following the desires of our own hearts. Every step of the way we should always ask God for heavenly wisdom to make the best decision and not just any decision that “seems right”. The Bible says, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death” (Proverbs 14:12). God knows what is best for you. He sees the whole picture-the past, present and future of your lives. He knows what is the right choice for you every step of the way.

He has made this promise to you in Psalm 32:8 that He will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. Pray for his guidance, ask Him for directions before you ask anyone else or do anything else. Get His perspective on whatever the decision is. David could have just decided to go after his enemies because it “seemed” like the right thing to do, but he took out time to inquire of God first, “Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them?” He didn’t go all out with his might but with the Lord’s backing; and just as God had said, he pursued and recovered all without fail.

It is very important to put God first in all you do. Always remember that He is all-knowing. Heed the divine counsel in our memory verse for today: Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path.

Beloved, pray before making any decision, small or big. Also seek godly counsels. God is interested in every detail of your life.
