Decision Making

The wisest man who ever lived, King Solomon, had this to say about life:
I denied myself nothing my eyes desired;
I refused my heart no pleasure.My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor.
Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;nothing was gained under the sun
(Ecclesiastes 2:10, 11).

King Solomon had a pretty satisfying life. He took time to relax and enjoy himself but also worked hard to accomplish things. Yet, when he looked at everything he had achieved, he wasn’t satisfied.
Solomon was at the top of the success ladder:
-Distant kings visited him to view his splendorous palace.
-He had the highest IQ anywhere—wise teachers from across the world came to hear him speak.
-He did not lack female companionship, either.

Yet, despite all this, he found only one thing that could be counted as gain: his personal relationship with the God of the universe.
Maybe this wise guy’s success secret is worth looking into…
-God created you and knows you better than you know yourself. He knows your talents and weaknesses.
-He knows your dreams and is aware of your struggles growing up.
-He’s in a position to offer the best possible help to you in any situation and he deeply desires to do so.

Decision-making and other challenges will still be tough sometimes—troubles don’t all disappear after saying yes to God. But what an encouragement it is to know that you’re not alone in facing these life struggles.
How great to know that a loving, powerful, and faithful friend is walking you through them!

Man, just got to keep believing and more on.
