Wise Decision Making in God's Plan

October 25, 2020 Speaker: Dave Walker Series: Proverbs

Passage: Proverbs 3:5, Proverbs 16:3, Acts 27:14–44, Ephesians 4:17–24

Questions for discussion:

  1. Looking back in your life, can you see a decision where you were "wise in your own eyes," that did not turn out as you expected, but lead you to a path that changed the course of your life?
  2. Can you think of a time in your past when something you earnestly desired was actually not in your best interest?
  3. What is one specific area in your life that you have not "committed your ways to the Lord?"    
  4. Consider: He is a good Father who delights in his children (Zeph 3:17, Matthew 7:11);  He "causes all things to work together for good to those who love God,"(Rom 8:28, Prov 16:4), "The mind of man plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps." (Prov 16:9), and "There is a way that seems right to a man but the end thereof is death." (Prov 16:9); "The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.” (Prov 21:5)   
    • Knowing that we are 100% free and responsible for our decisions and that God is 100% sovereign, how does that change your view of life choices that you may be facing?
