Learning from Decision-Making Mistakes

Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way. Proverbs 19:2 ESV

Making informed decisions usually leads to positive outcomes. Trust me, there are days when I’m not so insightful, but today, I’m feeling confident and in control!

About a week ago, I received the 2025 annual survey from E-470 via email. At first glance, it seemed simple, but my ten years of experience prompted me to proceed cautiously. I took my time to ensure my responses were well-considered, recognizing the importance of making informed decisions. While the survey appears harmless, I am intrigued by the potential changes it might bring and how those adjustments could affect me as an E-470 driver.

Do you tend to make quick decisions like my mother and me? Do you often regret not doing things differently afterward? You’re not alone. Many people make snap choices and later feel remorse. The key to overcoming this habit is to recognize your mistakes, learn from them, and continue forward without guilt.

God desires us to make informed decisions, but many of us struggle with this. Consequently, we often find ourselves in recurring difficult situations. This is a common experience for us all at times. However, we don’t have to live in ongoing storms. Such a life isn’t healthy, nor is it what God plans for those He loves and cares for. His hope is for us to enjoy our time on Earth and to help others do the same. Let’s pray!

PRAYER

Father God, today presents new opportunities for growth and blessing. We embrace the chance to make positive choices that honor You and bring light into our lives. Amen
