As children of God, we get some difficulties when making the right decisions sometimes in our daily life. We all know that this is not an easy task anyway, but there's a tool to help you make right decisions from a biblical perspective. These are things you should ask yourself when going through the situation of making the right decision.
What do my top spiritual advisors tell me about this?
The kind of people we relate to and surrounds yourself with also determine the kind of decisions we make most times. you have to be careful with the kind of people you choose as your friends because basically, you are a composite of the five people you spend the most time with? so choose wisely.
The bible teaches us in:
Proverbs 11:14
Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.if you think you've got no good people around you, and you still don't know what to do, I would suggest you get involve in the church and also increase your involvement if you're already involved and create small groups and ministry in order to establish those godly relationships. You can seek more counselling from your spiritual advisers.
Am I willing to let God close this door?
As a Christian, never should you place your desire above God’s plan. Be submissive and ready to give up anything that you feel God does not want in your life no matter how important it may be to you.
One important element you have to know is for you to be submissive to God's supreme plan.
#Acts 16 shows us a good example of Apostle Paul's life throughout his journey.
How will this affect my family? Will this draw us closer to God or further from God?
One thing you must know is the importance of your family. The family makes up the church.
Now has your decision cause a stumbling block for your family? Before making any decision, you are not to consider your spiritual life only, but also consider the effects it will impose on the spiritual state of your family.
- will this take them away from godly people or godly friends?
- Will this help your family to grow in Christ?
- Will this in anyway way divide your family?
- Will it interferes with that spiritual growth?
1 Corinthians 8:9
Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak,Be careful not to make a decision that would cause you and your family to pay a big prize.
How will this affect me spiritually?
The peak of life journey is not just getting a big car, companies, houses, earning a bigger paycheck and others, but there's more to life than that. Considering the effect of any decision on your spiritual life.
- Will this decision interfere with your ability to attend church?
- Will this decision make you feel you're bigger than your fellow church members?
- Will this decision draw you nearer to God or further from him?
1 Corinthians 10:23
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
Whenever you're having a tough decision making, I'd encourage you go over these questions before making that decision a reality. This can also serve as a reference point to others, maybe your friends or family members too.
Making decisions in life is one thing we all do, and we have to measure both sides that is the positive and negative side before jumping into any conclusion or decision. As you said if one make a bad decision it can cause one's family to suffer for it and we do not pray for that so i urge us all to be careful in making decisions.

I appreciate you also
It is difficult to make the right decisions most times. But when we put God before we make decisions, we are sure of making the right decisions. There was a time I felt so depressed when faced a decision, it was praying to God that helped me. Thanks for Sharing.
Thanks for your idea and contribution apostle @Jaff8
Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient and let God lead. The storm will pass. The spring will come.
Making wise and right decisions is sometimes difficult, your decisions shouldn't strain our relationship with God neither should it jeopardise your family bonds.
Before making any tough decision, pray to God and ask for guidance in making the right decision.
Have a blessed day.

For every decision,whether big or small, we must seek God's counsel and guidance!
Very good points bro. When you are stuck in difficult situations, asking and answering these questions in the right way would lead you out of it victoriously.
Always difficult to make the right decision but we can ask GOD to help us by praying
Yeah that’s true
Everyday of our lives we face situations that involve decision making and we usually have to study all the variables involved before taking a decision. Most times this could be difficult. In my opinion, this is a fine write up that should help Christians take better decisions.
Making decisions with our own wisdom might sometimes lead to unfavorable result, rather let's pray to God and the Holy Spirit will guide us to make the right decision.
Nice advice, great post
A nice advice. For the thought which the LORD has for us is a thought of good and not of evil. To give us an expected end. let uspray that his will be done
Thanks for your contribution.
When we let the lord take the wheel of of lives ,we have a smoother ride in life!
Making the right decisions are difficult but are those things that takes us far in life. Thanks so much for this
There is a saying that man proposes but God disposes,and any foundation not in christ jesus must surely fail,it is very important to put God before every plan and allow him to pilot our plan
Good post @odiaprecious. It is a very important topic as we are faced with decisions every day and often underestimate how far-reaching the consequences can be.
I want to add this thought from Proverbs:
People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the LORD.
Pro 19:3 NLT
Thanks for your contribution.
Making a decision can be so hard at time, but allowing God lead you will definitely put you on the right track.
Thanks for this write up
