1. You must already possess adequate information to make a well-informed decision.
Proverbs
10:14
14. Wise men lay up knowledge: but the
mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
Proverbs
18:15
15. The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge;
and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
How can
we make a wise decision if you don’t have the knowledge to make a prudent
decision.
2. You must already operate under established parameters that you will not compromise
on.
Philippians
3:15-16
15. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be
thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even
this unto you.
16.
Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the
same rule, let us mind the same thing.
If you are
to make the right decision, sometimes on short notice, you had better be making
use of every bit of wisdom that you have already received.
When you are at the crossroad of decisions, before you even consider making a decision:
3. You must know the Word
Matthew
13:23
23. But he that received seed into the good
ground is he
that
heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth
forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
2 Timothy
2:15
15. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
