Still Making Decisions Alone? Here’s Why That’s Dangerous

About this sermon

In this video, I share a deeply personal and spiritual message on rediscovering the ancient biblical practice of inquiring of the Lord. As we navigate the complexities of modern life, the need for true wisdom—God’s wisdom—has never been more critical. I reflect on the life of King David, a man after God's own heart, who consistently paused to seek the Lord before making major decisions. His pattern of humility, waiting, and obedience offers timeless lessons for us today. You’ll learn how wisdom differs from knowledge, and why our fast-paced, information-heavy world often distracts us from walking in divine understanding. I challenge you to examine your motives, slow down, and realign your heart with God’s long-term vision, not just short-term comfort. Through Scripture and real-life reflection, I emphasize the importance of prayer, surrender, and asking God for wisdom—especially when we feel unsure, delayed, or restless. Whether you're facing big life decisions, spiritual stagnation, or a desire to walk more closely with God, this message is for you. Let’s become a people who inquire of the Lord—daily, prayerfully, and expectantly. Don’t just watch—take time to pause, listen, and respond.
