First of all, let me say that most of us have made at least one foolish choice in life. Making a foolish choice doesn’t make you a fool. Ongoing foolish choices over a longer period may be a different story. Even then, you can choose to turn around and be wise.
How is it that we make foolish choices? Is it because we make rash decisions? Could it be that we don’t care what we do? There could be a number of reasons, but the best way to avoid foolish decisions is to allow God to lead you.
If you’re not sure if God is leading you in a situation, then ask Him. He is the best Resource we have, yet; we can easily neglect checking with Him.
Too many people forge ahead, only to regret the consequences. It’s good to remember that God isn’t holding out on us. He wants to lead us into the blessings He has prepared for us.
