Slow down and think!

We as followers of Jesus must be very careful in all areas of our life to glorify God. So when we make decisions we need to slow down and think and make sure every decision is pleasing to God. 

Thomas Kempis wrote: “Do not yield to even impulse and suggestion but consider things carefully and patiently in the light of God’s will.” Do we do that on a consistent basis?

2 Corinthians 10:5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

Proverbs 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty,
But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.

1 Peter 5:6-7 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!

Hebrews 12:25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven,

So brothers and sisters slow down and listen for God as He leads and speaks to His children i all areas of life!
