Waiting on the Lord

From a website called, Intentional Living, here are twelve things to consider when you wait to make a decision:

            1. The Mission question: Does this decision support my life mission?

            2. The Vision question: Will this decision move me toward a life goal or toward solving a problem?

            3. The Integrity question: Will this decision affect any commitment or vow I have made?

            4. God’s Revealed Word question: Does the Bible speak to this decision or a potential consequence?

            5. The Common Sense question: Do the results of this decision make sense?

            6. The Others First question: How will others be affected by this decision?

            7. The Legal question: Is it legal?

            8. The Cost question: What will this decision cost me?

            9. The Motive question: What do I get out of this decision?

            10. The Timing question: Is this the best time to make this decision?

            11. The Knowledge question: Do I have enough information to make this decision?

            12. The Commitment question: Do I plan to commit to my decision?

Sometimes, our joy comes not in pushing buttons, moving forward recklessly confident that God will baptize our wonderful plans, but in waiting. Truth is that we can mash all the buttons we want, but ultimately it’s the Spirit who lifts us up, gives the “walk” sign, strengthens our steps, warms us with grace and sharpens our vision.
