How to Make Good Decisions

Scripture: Philippians 1:9-11 (NRSV)

There are many strategies out there for making decisions:

• • Crystal balls and eight balls.
  • Palm readers and tarot cards.
  • Spin the wheel of fortune or play roulette.
  • There’s Eeny Meeny Miny Moe
  • And the “point and read” method.
  • Or just go with your gut or obey your thirst.
  • Or the most popular approach: Google it!

The truth is, there are no formulas or easy steps, no magic wands or silver bullets for making fool-proof decisions. It’s an act of faith. And we usually don’t have all the information. As Paul says, “we look through a dark glass.” But God has given us some guidance on how to faithfully read the signs of daily life. This is called discernment. Let’s learn together how to make good decisions.
