Tough Decisions

We all face those moments when tough decisions have to be made. It may be that our child wants to do something that "everybody else" is doing but we know that it is not the thing that they need to be doing, and we have to decide between our child's "happiness" and what we know is right. GOD has called parents to that position, to be leaders and decision makers for our children.

Maybe your tough decision is personnel issues at work. Sometimes, especially with those whom you may have the charge over, it is tough to make some decisions. While it is important to have a Christian attitude and to approach things from a Christian perspective, there are times in the work place when tough decisions have to be made.

Today's word is Proverbs 13:20, NIV, which reads, "Walk with the wise and become wise; for a companion of fools suffers harm."

When tough decisions have to be made, of course, we need to pray and seek GOD'S guidance. We need to read the scriptures and see what GOD shows us through His word. Also, GOD has put people in our lives to help us make decisions; or, to at least be sounding boards to aid in the decision making process.

We will never make good decisions, especially in tough situations, listening to foolishness. We need to walk with and listen to and seek the counsel of the wise. Obviously, it is not easy to make tough decisions, hence the name. However, walking with and seeking the advice of wise people will help us make those tough decisions correctly.

Be Blessed,
