In Christianity, decision-making is often a mystified topic. Life is full of choices, and sin complicates matters. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar discuss how Scripture provides a much more straightforward way forward. Making God-honoring decisions isn’t about unlocking a secret code—it’s about having confidence in God’s sovereignty. The heart of a believer is to walk in communion with God in every aspect of life, not just in moments of uncertainty. When someone fully surrenders to Christ, God will carry them. Walking in the fear of the Lord and maintaining a reverent awe of who He is brings clarity. When someone lives for God’s glory, every decision is filtered through that lens.
The wisdom of God isn’t hidden; it’s available in His Word. The guys emphasize how we often overcomplicate things when Scripture is always sufficient. The more time someone spends in the Bible, the more their decisions reflect God’s heart. The world may pressure and mislead, but believers stay focused on Christ. Practically, decision-making often involves affinity (what someone loves), ability (what someone is good at), and opportunity (which doors are opening). The church plays a vital role here—believers need objective counsel. There’s wisdom in a multitude of counselors. The guys remind believers to avoid surrounding themselves with yes men. Everyone needs people who aren’t impressed by them and will speak the truth in love.
Making unpopular decisions is difficult. That’s why it’s important to establish convictions before the moment arrives. The more someone immerses themselves in Scripture and community, the easier it becomes to stand firm. Even when alone, a believer is never truly alone—God is with them. Understanding God’s Word also clarifies options in a beneficial way. Don’t ask God for direction while ignoring what He has already revealed. If God seems silent, perhaps He has already spoken, and now it’s time for obedience. The Bible serves as the instruction manual. As leaders, especially husbands, decisions should reflect God’s will instead of self-interest. Husbands are called to lead, but not alone; wives are given to help discern God’s direction. Leadership is service—first to God, then to others.
The world says to follow your heart, but the Bible states that the heart is deceitful. God-honoring decisions stem from God-saturated minds. Those who seek wisdom must ask God for it and immerse themselves in His Word. Surrounding oneself with praying, honest believers is important. As the guys remind Christians, faith is a refusal to panic. Wait on the Lord. Trust His ways over your own. Cry out to Him because He knows more than we ever will.
