Have I made the correct decision?
Jas 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.
As leaders in Business we often have to make decisions where right and wrong are hazy and unclear to say the least. These decisions could also have significant impact on the organisation, ourselves or other individuals.
There are many books and courses that have been provided over the years, but they give some guidance but often we still left with that nagging doubt. It has even been said that if a manager makes over 50% correct decisions they are in the top 20% of leaders! How true or measurable this is, is debatable. Common sense is also a great asset as is a good knowledge of the issue that you are faced with.
However as Children of the Living God we have another more tangible resource. The Holy Spirit. In all such cases I ask the Holy Spirit for guidance. That discernible inner peace that at times defies explanation. Also I find that I receive a quiet inner conviction that a certain course of action is the correct one. I can confess that He has never let me down.
I pray that the Wisdom of the Lord as taught in James 1:5 becomes real in your life drawing you ever closer to Jesus. Amen.
Blessings for the weekend. Charles
