2nd D Decision

We are covering a lesson I love called the 4 D's. The first one written on the previous post was DESIRE! Time for the Second D! DECISION
Rev. 3:15 “I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! 16 But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!
Just like the bible says to be successful in anything, we need to make a decision. Many of us have wishes, sometimes needs, but that really doesn't matter. The world needs more than just wishes and needs. The world needs people ready to get something done and glorify Christ through our actions. In order to make things happen, we need to make a decision.
Proverbs 16:3 Commit your plans to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.
Of course we are assuming this decision is what God has in store for your life. Once you have that confirmed, then make it clear and commit. Even John Wayne said, "True grit is making a decision and standing by it, doing what must be done."
These decisions won't always be easy and could end in failure according to man's standards, but to the Glory of God we must take a stand on what He wants for our lives. In Esther 14:16 we see her strength and commitment through her decision.
Esther 14:16 "Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish."
Every decision you make is not a decision about what to do. It's a decision about Who You Are. And Whose You Are! When you see this, when you understand it, everything changes and you begin to see life in a new way. All events, occurrences, and situations turn into opportunities to do what God brought you here to do.
God has given you a purpose in this life to glorify HIM and to allow others to know HIM through you. It's time to take those desires that He has given you and make a decision to make them come true.
