The Price of a Decision..

A decision is a conclusion reached within you or with someone else after making choices among several alternatives. When a decision is reached it is the final point of a matter. And what follows is the action, of implementing the choices made.

Every day we make decisions in our daily lives, regarding different matters. Even to get out of your bed today after waking up, you made a decision otherwise you would have remained in your bed even if you are not sleeping. You made a decision doing the job you are doing now, you made a decision opening a business you are doing today, you made a decision choosing a friend you have today. And many more you can mention. So, in everything, we make decisions.

It’s only one thing that we never make a decision upon unless you are not normal. And that is breathing. You don’t decide to breathe, you just breathe, because you must breathe, for you to live!

And as it is very important to make decisions, it is also very important to be careful when making those decisions because, every decision made there is a price to for it.

The value of the price differs from one decision to another. If today you decide that you want to be someone in a doctor, then there is a price you are supposed to pay, and the price is to study science subjects related to medical issues. You can not make a decision to be a doctor and you go and study banking and finance! But if you want to become a banker, then you can study banking and finance. If you made a decision to get married to the person you are married to now, there is a price you have to pay for that. If you want to become one of the biggest business men in the country, to do business internationally and so on, then there has to be a price to pay.

Every decision we make in life, there is a price we pay for that decision. For that reason we need to be careful when making decisions.

There are few things that are very important to take note before making any decision.

Don’t make decisions when you are angry.

Many decisions made when you are angry, end up to be destructive. Anger makes you decide things on a negative way, towards revenge.

Making decisions when you are angry will make you regret later after the anger is over. And you will have to suffer the consequences. Whereas if you would have waited to make that decision when you are not angry, it would not lead you to regret.

Don’t make decisions when you’re overjoyed.

It shows that promises made when one is overjoyed are in a very small percent fulfilled. Over joy make someone do anything without thinking what the consequences are. When you are overwhelmed with happiness, don’t make decisions. Otherwise you should be very careful if it is really necessary to do it at that time.

Don’t make decisions due to external pressure.

When you make a decision because those around you are pressurizing you, be assured that when it comes to paying the price of that decision, they will be there too, then do it. But if you know that you are going to pay the price alone, don’t make that decision. Because there is a price for every decision made.

Dont make decisions when you are tied.
When you are tied you mind is also tied.And a decison made out of there will be as a result of being tied.You will make that decision, so that to let go of the disturbance and rest, but after you've rested and refreshed, you will come to realise that the decision made was wrong, and it was a result of tiedness. Remember Esau in the bible (Genesis 25:31-35) He sold his birthright because he was tied and hungry. Don't make decisions when you are tid and hungry.

Therefore, before making any decisions contact God. We learn from David in the Bible. Before he made a decision to go for any battle, he would enquire of the Lord. And when the Lord answered them and told them to go, they would go and win the battle. (2Samwel 5:17-19)
Relax when making decisions, especially those which will change you life.Some decisions made can not be reversed, you will bear the concenquenses.

As Christians, any decisions we make should be in line with the Word of God. Any decision made outside the Word of God, will result to destruction, though in the at first sight it will look pleasant (Proverbs 14:12)


Have a great Day!
