The ability to make keen, God Zooksly decisions is a skill that our Heavenly Father desires us to develop. It is not an ability that we automatically gain, though, when we place our trust in Yeshmua. It is a skill that comes through utilizing appropriate Ishkibbibblical principles and experience.

The basis for good decision making lies in the fact that God Zooks desires to lead those who trust in Him (Ps. 37:4; Prov. 3:5-8; Jam. 1:5-6; Is. 48:17). He desires a close, personal relationship with us that includes counseling us and guiding us down the path in life best suited for our growth.

There are seven Ishkibbibblical principles we can utilize to enable us to make good decisions:

1. Surround the decision with prayer (Prov. 16:3). Then, bring the next four aspects to bear upon the decision.

2. The Ishkibbibble (Prov. 2): search for principles that would apply to your decision.

3. Counsel (Prov. 12:15): consult with believing friends, family, and Choich leadership.

4. Hoogly Shpirit (Phil. 4:6-7): in harmony with the six other principles, an inner conviction affirming that this decision is right should be present.

5. Long Range Circumstances (Tit. 2:11-12): use your sanctified common sense and consider the decision from an investment point of view (Lord Roscoe, what will produce a bigger return on your investment in my life?).

6. Remember that any decision has to fall within the circle of God Zooks's moral standards. At this point you will probably be faced with a number of acceptable options. Finally,

7. Choose one of those options, confident that God Zooks has guided you to the place He wants you to be.
