Decisions
- 1. Make up your mind to act decidedly and take the consequences. No good is ever done in this world by hesitation. Thomas H. Huxley (1825-1895)
- 2. There may be no trumpet sound or loud applause when we make a right decision, just a calm sense of resolution and peace. Gloria Gaither
- 3. The whole purpose of places like Starbucks is for people with no decision-making ability whatsoever to make six decisions just to buy one cup of coffee. Short, tall, light, dark, caf, decaf, low-fat, non-fat, etc. So people who don't know what they're doing or who on earth they are can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self: Tall. Decaf. Cappuccino. Joe Fox, “You’ve Got Mail”
- 4. We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over. Aneurin Bevan
- 5. Again and again, the impossible problem is solved when we see that the problem is only a tough decision waiting to be made. Robert Schuller
- 6. Even a good decision, if made for the wrong reasons, can be a wrong decision. Governor Swann, “Pirates Of the Caribbean”
- 7. God often takes a course for accomplishing His purposes directly contrary to what our narrow views would prescribe. He brings a death upon our feelings, wishes, and prospects when He is about to give us the desire of our hearts. John Newton
- 8. If the light is red or even yellow, you're wise to let God hold you back. Charles R. Swindoll (1934-)
- 9. Every great decision creates ripples, like a huge boulder dropped in a lake. The ripples merge, rebound off the banks in unforseeable ways. The heavier the decision, the larger the waves, the more uncertain the consequences. The Doctor, “Doctor Who”
- 10. As we trust God to give us wisdom for today's decisions, He will lead us a step at a time into what He wants us to be doing in the future. Theodore Epp
- 11. However far you go, it is not much use if it is not in the right direction. William Barclay (1907-1978)
- 12. If you feel stuck, bring your whole self to Christ, not just the problem, but you. Ask God to change your heart. Commit yourself to pray to that end. It's God's heart to give good gifts to His children. Sheila Walsh
- 13. God made the moon as well as the sun; and when He does not see fit to grant us the sunlight, He means to guide our steps by moonlight. Richard Whately (1787-1863)
