God's Man | Decision Making...
 So I am reading  through a book of scriptures that I got from Dave Ramsey's team called, "God's Word for  your Every Need."  The scriptures are organized into categories and it is  very quick refresher for me during my work day.  I am starting the section  "What to Do When..."  It begins with the passage from  Proverbs" > Instruct a wise    man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his    learning. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and    knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For through me your days will be    many, and years will be added to your life. If you are wise, your    wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.” Prov    9:9-12 What do you  do when you need to make a decision?  Do you rely on your accumulated  knowledge?  Do you take time, analyze all the information, weigh the  consequences, then do something?  Do you "follow your gut"?  Do you  shoot first and ask questions later?  I have always been a 60 second  Decision man.  I look at a scenario ask no more than 4 clarifying questions  and then choose a course.  This has worked for me for a while now but it  took a long time to get it to work well.     You know  what the deciding factor was?  When I would use my own standards/knowledge  I would more often than not end up in a bad place.  However whenever I line  up the situation in light of God's Word, pray and listen things just work.   Having a standard and boundaries makes decision making much easier.  When  those standards, boundaries, and knowledge come from something solid you can  walk thorough even the toughest of situations.   How do  you make decisions?     -God's Man
