Why We Often Make Poor Choices

Many people find themselves making the wrong decisions time and again. A common reason for this is that we often rely on our own judgement instead of seeking guidance from God. Every person has natural habits, weaknesses, and limitations, and no one is without fault. It feels easy and even normal to follow what seems right to us in the moment. But choosing what feels natural instead of what God directs can lead to trouble.

When we face problems, we may try to figure things out on our own. But if we leave God out of our thinking, we increase the chance of making a mistake. God is always ready to help us make wise choices, but we have to be willing to listen.

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

James 1:5

Is Jesus the Guide in Every Decision You Make?

We all make choices. We make choices in business, with family, in friendships, and in personal matters. A serious question to consider is whether those decisions are guided by God, who lives within those who follow Him. It’s important to reflect honestly: are all areas of our lives placed under God’s direction, or only certain parts while others remain untouched by His guidance?

Some people might claim that Jesus is either in control of everything in our lives or He is not. But the truth is, whether a person chooses to follow Him or not, Jesus remains Lord. Human submission does not change His authority. What does matter is God’s desire for each of us to acknowledge His rightful place in our lives and to allow Him to lead in every situation.

and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:11
