Welcome to Episode 4 of Just One Simple Thing! In this episode, we’ll continue our discussion about decision making with five verses you can pray and five questions you can ask as a filter to help you make decisions. You’ll also learn what to do when a decision gets stuck in the middle of your filter. You ready? Let’s get to it!
Key Points:
- Here are five practical things we can pray through when deciding what to do next in our ministries or businesses.
- Ask these questions:
1.Is it consistent with your purpose?
2. Does it fit in with other pieces of your ministry or business?
3. Does it reflect a God-honoring Presence?
4. How does it affect your people?
5.Are you in the right position?
- Clarity comes from action. By taking the first few simple steps towards that decision, you’ll bring closure to the decision faster than if you just sit and ponder.
- There is a place where micro steps towards what seems like a good idea can give us clarity and confidence to either move ahead or step back.
Action Step:
Download the Decision Making Filter, print it out, fill it in, and keep it handy for your next big decision. Then snap a picture and share it on social media using the hashtag #justonesimplething.
