What does the Bible say about decision making?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that believers should make decisions by trusting God rather than their own limited understanding, seeking His wisdom, obeying His revealed Word, and resting in His sovereign care. Proverbs 3:5-6 calls us to acknowledge the Lord in every path, confident that He directs His people. James 1:5 invites us to ask God for wisdom, while Philippians 4:6-7 directs anxious hearts to prayer and God’s guarding peace. Wise decisions ordinarily include godly counsel, as Proverbs 11:14 teaches, and aim at God’s glory in all things, according to 1 Corinthians 10:31. God’s plans are good, and He is present with His people, even when the way ahead is unclear.
