The Science of Analysis Paralysis – blog.doist.com
“Analysis paralysis / Overthinking:
1 .Lowers your performance on mentally demanding tasks
2. Kills your creativity
3. Eats up your willpower
4. Makes you less happy”
Our Dear Heavenly Father doesn't want us to get overwhelmed by the ways of the world, or what the world SAYS we should do/ or be like.
Making Decisions??
Instead of seeking more and more data, shouldn't we be going to Him who has a heart for us, instead of turning to the world that couldn't care less about us??
"Options" - blog from 8/18/17
One of the most destructive forces in a human’s life is when a person believes they have options. If every good thing is from God (James 1:17) then there’s really only one good option, God’s will.
"Options" - blog from 8/18/17
In a perfect environment, there’s only one option. Obey God. That is what is good. It isn’t until a person begins to consider other options that evil seeps into the picture. It turns out that while the world tells us to “keep our options open” in every possible way, the Bible tells us the complete opposite. Jesus said, “Follow Me!”
"Options" - blog from 8/18/17
While we’re all given options, there’s really only one good option, and that is whatever our Master has set before us on the narrow road that leads to life. My encouragement is that you focus on His will for you and ignore all the passersby whispering in your ear, tempting you to consider your options.
God Gave Us Limitations on Purpose
We are not created equal with God; therefore, we have limitations. Every choice we make amplifies this fact.
Pr 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
The Uber-Choice
Is what we’re thinking, saying, or doing (or about to) bringing glory to God? And if our first and second options are close, which brings the most glory to God, first (possibly at the expense of self-glorification)?
Prioritizing God
Our conscience is only at peace when we live for Him and His glory, from the heart.
Christian Prioritization
The hallmark of good prioritization for a believer is that every choice they make considers the Lord Jesus Christ first. Our “first love” is always our top priority.
“practice”
prasso – properly, the active process in performing (accomplishing) a deed, and implying what is done as a regular practice – i.e. a routine or habit
Be Careful Neglect Doesn’t Sneak Up on You – blog – 12/30/22
Be careful neglect doesn’t sneak up on you! While you’re busy with other priorities, you might just be leaving the most important ones behind.
Return to Your First Love, JESUS!
Remember your confidence the day you realized you were truly a child of God…when the Spirit illuminated that very confidence in your soul!
