"Complete What You Started to Do" - BEFORE MAKING A DECISION

Some important decisions we would never change.  For example, we stick to our decision to serve Jehovah, and we determined to be faithful to our marriage mate.  (Matthew 16:24; 19:6) Other decisions, though, may need to be adjusted. Why? Because circumstances change.  What steps can help us to make the best decisions possible?

Pray for wisdom.  Jehovah inspired James to write:  "If any one of you is lacking in wisdom, let him keep asking God, for he gives generously to all." (James 11:5) In some respects, we all "lacking in wisdom."  So rely on Jehovah both when making a decision and when reviewing that decision.  Jehovah will then help you to make wise choices.

Do thorough research. Consult God's Word, read the publications  of Jehovah's organization, and talk to people whom you can trust.  (Proverbs 20:18)  Such research is vital before making a decision to change jobs, to move, or to choose appropriate education to help you support your ministry.
