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

The Prayer’s of Black Women

November 8

9 They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “May the king live forever! 10 Your Majesty has issued a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music must fall down and worship the image of gold, 11 and that whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace. 12 But there are some Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego—who pay no attention to you, Your Majesty. They neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up.”

13 Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king, 14 and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up? 15 Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?”

16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”

I selected to share the above verses because they show how far people will go when they are filled with unclean spirits such as jealousy, envy and greed. Let’s pray!

PRAYER

Father, thank you for this new day that has new opportunities. Fill me with your love as you protect me from the evils of my enemies. Amen
