267. How can I make decisions as a Christian about everyday matters?
A. God gives me freedom to make my own decisions in everyday matters. He has provided the Ten Commandments to guide my decision-making. He also invites me to pray for wisdom in choosing the best course of action according to His Word.
B. In making decisions, I can also consider the many gifts that God has provided me in my everyday life: my specific callings (see Table of Duties), my abilities and interests, the needs of those around me, the opportunities He has laid before me, and the counsel and wisdom of others.
C. Finally, I can pray for God's blessing on my decisions, knowing ful well that I daily sin much and can never completely avoid sin in this life. I live each day in the forgiveness of sins in Jesus, knowing that my God is a God of blessing who promises to work all things for my ultimate good.
