Minister’s Corner: The greatest decision of your life

By: DR. BRIAN DORE’
Member of the Ville Platte Ministerial Alliance

There are so many decisions that we have to make in life. What will I do with my life as far as a career is concerned? Who will I marry? Where will we live? How many children do I want to have, if any? The number and type of decisions we will make in life is unfathomable, but let me tell you about the greatest decision you can make in your entire life. The greatest decision you will ever make in this life is this: Are you going to follow God or not? Who is going to be number one in your life? Who are you going to live for? Are you going to live for yourself or are you going to live your life for God? Let me tell you, following God is the only thing that will produce stability in your life. Following God is the only way you can live in peace with God and with yourself. Here is how you do that: Ask Him now to come into your life - to forgive you of your sins - to guide you and direct you through life - and to give you wisdom in the decisions that you need to make.
All you have to do is pray a simple prayer something like this: “Lord, I am a sinner. I need to be forgiven. Come into my life and save me. I want to know you. I want to live for you. I want to follow you.” If you say a prayer like that right now, with all sincerity, God promises that He will forgive you and He will save you.
James tells us in James 1:5-8 NKJV, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” Ask God, ask in faith, and rely on His promises.
