DECISIONS
By Peace Agboire
According to behavioral psychology, a moderate estimate suggests that the average person makes between one and ten thousand decisions every day. If this number alone doesn’t emphasize the importance of decision-making, consider this: our approach to seemingly trivial choices, like what to wear or what to eat strongly influences the weighty decisions in our lives. Although we are not keen on the number of decisions, we are more concerned about the seasons that would require destiny-defining decisions.
Queen Esther, a woman in Scripture, lived a life worthy of recommendation. The Scripture says, “Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.” At this pivotal moment, she had to choose between survival and stepping into a life-threatening mission for the sake of her people, and the first thing she did was seek divine help.
Isn't it surprising how often our decisions, both small and great, are made subconsciously without God, yet we turn to Him only when facing the consequences? The way we approach minor decisions not only shapes the outcomes of greater ones, but our daily dependence on God prepares us for life’s pivotal moments.
Esther didn’t act that day in a way she had never acted before. She had cultivated a lifestyle of dependence on God, and when the moment came, remembering Him was instinctive. Whether you make one decision or a thousand in a day, let every choice begin with God.
