How to Make Wise Decisions

On Sunday, I preached from Isaiah 9:6 and focused on how Jesus is our Wonderful Counselor. He is the One who comes alongside us to give counsel in the wide range of decisions we make throughout the course of our life.

But if you are like me there is often ambiguity in how something plays out unless you get even more specific about details. How, after all, do we make wise decisions? What are the steps in good decision-making? How do we obtain counsel from the Lord and then know that we have actually heard from Him? How can we find the answer in Scripture regarding which option we should take in a time of decision?

A VERY helpful resource that I have enjoyed reading a couple of times is Haddon Robinson's book, "Decision Making By the Book: How to Choose Wisely in an Age of Options." If you want to brush up on your decision-making skills, I would highly recommend this easy-to-read resource.
