Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. Proverbs 3:17
Have you ever grappled with a difficult decision? Remember the back and forth you played with it in your mind? Then it came time to “fish or cut bait.” You had to decide. It was agonizing. Painful even. Then you find out later that it was the wrong decision. Not an immoral one just wrong. That’s okay. Really it is.
Unfortunately, throughout life we are bound to make bad decisions. It’s a part of life. But just because a decision you find out later was a bad one doesn’t mean you can’t have peace about it when making it? It’s what I call “does it pass the peace test?” If I’d laid all my cards on the table and prayed over it all that I’d make the best and wisest decision, I’ll make it knowing that even if it’s not entirely correct, that’s all right. As long as I get back on the right track, it’ll be fine. It will. And when I make the decision, do I have peace about it?
Don’t overlook the peace factor when making decisions. It could be a deal breaker.
