Good Judgment for Decisions


"God didn't give us a cowardly spirit but a spirit of power, love, and good judgment." - 2 Timothy 1:7 GW

Recently, I had to make an important decision that could have far-reaching consequences. I was so nervous and fearful about it, that I knew it would be difficult for me to hear clearly from God in the matter. As I made an effort to settle myself down in my spirit and my emotions, I sought the Lord for His wisdom and guidance.

He led me to the God's Word Translation of Second Timothy 1:7 (GW), which says that "God didn't give us a cowardly spirit but a spirit of power, love, and good judgment." As soon as I saw the words, "good judgment," I knew I had my answer.

All through the day, I declared this promise - emphasizing that I had been given a spirit of good judgment. And I became filled with the Christlike confidence I needed to make the right decision, and to receive the Lord's best outcome.

As believers, you and I don't have to become fearful when we have decisions to make. On the basis of God's Word, we can ask and receive the divine help and guidance we need to lay hold of God's best in every situation we encounter. The author of Psalm 119 prayed: "Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I believe in Your commands." (Psalm 119:66 NIV) The Passion Translation says it this way: "Teach me how to make good decisions, and give me revelation-light, for I believe in Your commands."

As we seek the Lord for His assistance in making good decisions, we will have all the help of Heaven on our side!

Prayer: Lord, when I have decisions to make that can affect me or my loved ones, remind me to seek You first for Your will in the matter. Guard me from doubt and fear, and help me to remember that You promise to give me divine wisdom when I ask for it in faith. (James 1:5) Fill me with the Christlike confidence I need to make the right decision in every situation. Thank You that as I follow Your lead, I will receive Your best outcome every time!
