Wise Decisions

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;

…in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel.

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

…let the wise listen and gain instruction, and the discerning acquire wise counsel

A man’s heart plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober-minded. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. …

Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”
