Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hi and welcome back to the Pleasing God podcast, a
show focused on helpingChristians to think biblically,
engage practically and livefaithfully for the glory of God.
I'm your host, jonathan Soul,and on this episode I want to
talk about the role of scripturein everyday decision-making.
A reality that we all face inlife is that we have to make
(00:30):
decisions, and we make decisionson a daily basis, sometimes
hour by hour, even maybe minuteby minute.
We do it so often that we mightat times just kind of it's
reflex and we might even takefor granted the process of
decision-making.
Do we have a method for how tomake decisions?
(00:52):
Do we think carefully onlyabout big decisions in life?
What do we do and how do weapproach decision-making as
Christians, and what does theBible teach us?
How can we live faithfully, youknow, and think about this
practically in the realm ofdecision-making.
As Christians, we recognizethat the choices we make are
(01:15):
crucial, the crucial part ofeveryday life, and sometimes
Christians can struggle whenmaking decisions.
Maybe there's almost at timesand some of you might be able to
relate this kind of analysisparalysis at times, where even
on small decisions, we mightstruggle to make one because
(01:36):
we're wanting to discern what isGod's will for this, or how do
I go about doing this?
Am I making the right decision?
Is God pleased with thisdecision?
Is this what I'm supposed to bedoing?
And we can almost kind ofquestion our own decision making
, and it's a challenge that wecan face.
But I want to focus on theimportance of biblical
(01:59):
foundations for our choices.
What does the Bible teach us?
How should we approach thescriptures when it comes to
decision-making?
And the first thing I want usto understand is that the
scriptures must be our guide forthe decision-making process.
(02:21):
Think about what the psalmistsays in Psalm 119, 105.
He says your word is a lamp tomy feet and a light to my path.
Well, what he's saying there isGod's revealed word.
God's holy scripturesilluminate for him where he's
going.
This is a lamp to his feet thathe might see, step by step,
(02:45):
what he's supposed to do, and alight to his path that shows him
where he's going.
And so when we think about thescriptures, we need to recognize
that they are our guide in thislife, but even more than just
simply a guide.
Think about what Paul says in 2Timothy 3, verse 16, where this
(03:07):
is the passage where he saysall scripture is breathed out by
God and is profitable.
This is where Paul says allscripture is breathed out by God
and profitable for teaching,for reproof, for correction and
for training in righteousness.
That the man of God may beequipped, complete equipped for
every good work.
(03:28):
So in this passage, what we seeis the sufficiency of Scripture
for all of life, for wisdom,for guidance in the
decision-making process, makingprocess.
And as we think about, you know, the scriptures need to be our
(03:49):
guide.
It helps us to combat the dangerof relying solely upon our
feelings, upon our circumstances, on what may be the easy way or
the easiest decision to make,because sometimes the easiest
decision to make, becausesometimes the easiest decision
is not the best decision or theright decision, not just based
off of well, I feel this way.
(04:10):
Therefore, I'm going to do thisthing.
That's not necessarily a goodstarting point for making
biblically based decisions, norbasing it off of circumstances
or popular opinion.
I'm going to make this choicebecause, well, maybe more people
will like me or won't rock theboat so much, or it just seems
(04:33):
to be.
This is what popular opinionwants me to do.
And when we think that way andwe're basing on feeling
circumstances or popular opinion, we're actually undermining the
Bible as our guide.
Our feeling circumstances andpopular opinion become our guide
, and that can lead us into aworld of trouble.
If we're people that arenaturally prone to being people
(04:58):
pleasers, well, we can beparalyzed in our decision making
because, well, this decisionmight not please people and we
might not do it, and so thoseare just traps that we should
watch out for and recognize thatthe Scriptures are to be our
supreme guide for makingdecisions in this life.
(05:19):
Well, we know that decisionsare a crucial part of daily life
.
We know that the Scriptures areto be our guide.
It's a way to think biblically,but practically speaking.
Then, how do we use thescriptures in the
decision-making process?
I'm going to give you fivepoints, or five principles for
(05:44):
using the Scripture in thedecision-making process, and the
first thing in the use ofScripture is to seek biblical
principles, not simply directanswers, because, to be honest,
as we use the Bible as our guideand our source of guidance and
(06:05):
direction, not every questionthat we might have, specific to
our own lives and context, willbe answered directly by the
Bible.
Let me give you an example acareer choice.
If you're at a point in yourlife where you're thinking about
you know, what am I supposed todo with my life?
(06:25):
Should I become an engineer?
Should I do a career change?
And you go into the Bibleasking the question what career
am I supposed to have?
You might not find anywhere Iknow you won't find anywhere
that the Bible says you need togo become a writer or you need
to go become an engineer, or gobuild bridges or go work in the
(06:49):
humanities or go study this.
No, it's not going to tell younecessarily what job to take.
But the scriptures do give usprinciples concerning work,
ethic, integrity, calling.
In the letter to the Colossiansin chapter 3, verse 23, paul
says whatever you do, workheartily, as for the Lord and
(07:13):
not for men.
There's a principle there aboutwhatever you do, let all that
you do be done to the glory ofGod.
So seek biblical principles,and it's not applying simply to
career choices, but about otherlife decisions that are
important to make.
Maybe a question to ask wouldbe does this choice violate any
(07:40):
commands or principles inScripture?
And if you come to that pointand you realize that, hey, by
doing this or not doing thisthing, there might be a command
or a principle that is violatedin Scripture.
Well then, you pretty much knowthe decision that you need to
make, but seek biblicalprinciples concerning decisions.
(08:03):
Second, consider the characterof God.
Think about who God is and howthat would play a role in
decision-making process.
Let's say you got an invitationto meet up with some old
friends.
No, you're not at all living anold lifestyle that maybe you
(08:25):
once did, but your friends doand you don't want to lose these
relationships.
They might be redemptive intime and they're going out to a
place where you know is probablynot a good thing to do.
It's probably not going to be anight that is at all honoring
to God and you have a decisionto make.
Do I go because I want to be afaithful witness, or do I say do
(08:49):
I refuse because the companythat I'd keep and the activities
I might be involved in, even ifI'm not doing those things that
might be guilty by association?
Do you make that choice?
Well, think about the characterof God when you're in the
process of making decisions suchas that.
Think about God's attributes,think about the holiness of God,
(09:10):
think about the goodness of God, think about what it means to
be holy.
That's a biblical principle,but it's also the character of
God.
Could I compromise my Christianwitness by doing this thing?
Well, if that's the answer,then maybe, and the answer is
yes, then maybe you do have ananswer to that decision.
But you want to align yourdecisions with who God is,
(09:36):
decisions that promote holiness,wisdom, love, goodness, justice
of God.
And another aspect too when wethink about considering the
character of God, we want tomimic that character.
There's a decision that we oftenall face in this life how do we
(09:57):
respond to someone who hurts us?
Sometimes that's a knee-jerkreaction.
Sometimes that decision is alittle more thought out.
But how would we respond tosomeone who hurts us,
considering and aligning ourdecisions with God's attributes?
Well, romans, chapter 12,verses 17 through 21, give us
(10:19):
the example.
Paul says is written vengeanceis mine, I will repay, says the
Lord.
To the contrary, if your enemyis hungry, feed him.
(10:40):
If he is thirsty, give himsomething to drink, for by doing
so, you will heap burning coalson his head.
Do not be overcome by evil, butovercome evil with good.
Again, this is how we wouldrespond to an offense, someone
who sins against us, someone whowould be considered our enemy.
This aligns with the attributesof God and how we would respond
(11:04):
as faithful Christians in ascenario like that.
Third principle look at biblicalexamples for decision-making.
Look at Jesus, I meanultimately, look to Jesus for a
source of guidance, truth,wisdom.
How did Jesus make decisions?
(11:25):
Well, how often do we read thathe went alone to a desolate
place to pray?
Jesus prayed through hisdecisions.
Think about the garden ofGethsemane Jesus is wrestling
with in his humanity, wrestlingwith the agony of Calvary that
(11:46):
is coming before him, that he'sgoing to go before the cross.
He's going to bear the sins ofhis people.
He's going to die under thewrath of God and he is going to
be punished and treated in sucha heinous way that he might
secure forgiveness for hispeople.
And in his agony, as he dropsto the ground, he says
(12:08):
nevertheless, not what I will,but your will be done.
And we see submission to thewill of the Father in Jesus'
decision-making to go to thecross, to continue in the work
that the Father had given him todo so prayer, submission,
reliance on scripture.
He's being tempted in Matthew,chapter 4, by Satan, and Satan's
(12:33):
, you know, appealing to.
He's hungry.
You know he hasn't eaten.
Jesus hasn't eaten in 40 days.
And so satan comes and saidcommand these stones to be
turned to bread.
He's tempting jesus.
And jesus responds.
It is written jesus relies uponthe scriptures even in his
(12:55):
decision making.
Man should not live by breadalone, but by every word that
comes from the mouth of God.
And so Jesus shows scripturereliance in his decision-making.
You can also think about theapostles.
If you look at Jesus and somepeople just kind of say, well,
he's God, he's going to alwaysmake the right decision, yes,
but even in his humanity we mustrecognize that he left us an
(13:18):
example to follow.
This is what Peter tells us inchapter 2 of his letter.
But think about the apostleshow they sought wisdom through
prayer, through the community ofthe saints, by the Holy Spirit.
These are biblical examples ofdecision making.
And you can also think of somenegative examples.
I'm reminded of Joshua in Joshua, chapter nine, which is the
(13:41):
Gibeonite deception.
This was when the Gibeonites,who were to be conquered by
Israel in the conquest, came andthey came up with a story and
pretended like they had beentraveling from far away and they
were seeking to be the servantsand make peace with Israel.
And Joshua and the elderslistened to the men.
(14:05):
And we read in chapter 9, verse14,.
So the men took some of theirprovisions but did not ask
counsel from the Lord.
And Joshua made peace with themand made a covenant with them
to let them live, and theleaders of the congregation
swore to them.
Here's an example of poordecision-making, hasty
decision-making, and Joshua isat fault here.
(14:27):
He did not seek counsel fromthe Lord.
He made a quick decision whenhe should have stopped and
prayed.
There's a biblical examplethere.
Fourth principle pray withscripture.
When we are looking to make adecision or we are seeking
wisdom from the Lord on what weare supposed to do in a
(14:51):
situation, pray the scriptures.
It is so valuable.
Again, james 1.5,.
If any of you lacks wisdom, lethim ask God, who gives
generously to all, withoutreproach, and it will be given
to him.
So there's this praying forwisdom from the scriptures.
Praying for wisdom from thescriptures.
(15:15):
Meditate on passages ofscripture that might speak
somewhat specific to a situationthat you're in, but again, pray
the scriptures as a principle.
Fifth principle seek counselfrom the local church.
I cannot overemphasize theimportance of this principle.
We were told in Proverbs 15,verse 22,.
(15:37):
Without counsel, plans fail,but with many advisors, they
succeed.
Don't be an isolated decisionmaker.
Seek counsel.
Do you have a community?
Do you have people in yourchurch that you can go to when
you're unsure of a directionthat you might need to go in,
(16:00):
that you can get their wisdom,their counsel and you'll listen
to it?
This is so important.
The role of the local church andmature believers is so vital to
the decision-making process.
We should not just kind of livein our own bubble or make
decisions in a vacuum, but totalk through with trusted
(16:24):
brothers and sisters, godly menand women who have gone before
us that have wrestled with someof the same things we might be
wrestling with, but they havewisdom.
Talk to elders and seasonedsaints and foster that dialogue
for the good of thedecision-making process.
So these are the fiveprinciples or ways that I would
(16:45):
just propose to you that canhelp in making decisions.
Seek biblical principles,consider the character of God,
look at examples ofdecision-making in the Bible,
pray the scriptures and seekcounsel from the local church.
I hope, as you think throughthese five principles of
(17:07):
decision-making, it helps you atleast have some categories and
a framework for approaching adecision or the decision-making
promise.
But as you think about it.
I want to just kind of closewith reminding us all of a very
popular verse in Proverbs,chapter three, verses verse five
(17:32):
and six says trust in the Lordwith all your heart and do not
lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways, acknowledgehim and he will make straight
your paths.
I hope this is helpful as youthink through and navigate just
everyday life.
I want to thank you forlistening to the Pleasing God
