I confess that many decisions that I have made for my life were led by a random thought. Or I have allowed things such as the weather, sleep, how I am feeling, or the way others treat me to affect my decisions. In truth, when I look back, my emotions whether high or low led me to make my decisions. It is important to wait until our emotions subside to make important decisions. So, in the waiting and the praying I will do something now that will make me happy later!
Be wise!
Wisdom is based on the Word of God! Colossians 4:5 states, “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.”
Don’t do something you don’t have peace about!
I have learned from the past to pray about decisions before I make them. My husband is so much better at this than I. He is always slow to make decisions. It is important to pray and wait and don’t do something we don’t have peace about!
God knows what’s best and will lead us to make a decision that will make us happy later.
The children of Israel faced a lot of opposition as they worked to restore the temple of God. Even with all of their opposition, they never lost sight of the goodness of God! Friends, we are certainly facing a lot of opposition today. Refuse to be discouraged, instead proclaim the goodness of God!
You may think you have nothing to be thankful for. Friends, we have plenty to be thankful for.
When the foundation of the temple was laid, the Israelites praised God and gave thanks. We don’t have to wait until Thanksgiving to give thanks.

I have to admit this week, I have often felt like David in the Bible standing in front of Goliath with nothing but a slingshot. This week has been one for the books. Are you feeling a little weak in your faith?
The Bible tells us about a man named David. He tended the sheep. However, David was anointed by God. Every day, Goliath would defy the people of Israel. If someone could fight and kill the Goliath, they would be free of Philistines. David volunteered to fight Goliath. He set out with a slingshot and five smooth stones. David had God by his side. He trusted and had faith.
You can read more of the story of David and Goliath in Samuel 17.
God doesn’t promise us a perfect life. However, we do have His assurance that He will always be with us even when we are fighting a battle.
The Bible says, “Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and faint a surpassing victory through Him who loves us.” Romans 8:37
If you are feeling a little weak in your faith because you are facing a battle today, know that God is on your side. Fight Satan with what you know which is prayer and the Word of God.
When you are feeling weak in the knees, pray!
No matter what comes your way, you can face it because you are an overcomer with Christ!
