Encouraging - Decisions

Even good people can get off track if they rush ahead without consulting God. When our natural senses do not detect anything amiss and we lean only on our common sense, we can create a disaster. We need to slow down and remember that what looks okay is not always okay. Unless we take time to “inquire of the Lord,” we won’t know until it’s too late. We will make decisions that come back to haunt us.
