Thank you, Kevin DeYoung. From his book Just Do Something.
"...prayer is the third key in seeking wisdom. But isn't it possible that if we are walking with God in daily prayer, and we have some sanctified common sense, that we should be able to make decisions on the spot once in a while?"
Convicting on both sides. Sometimes I need to just make a decision and quit waffling on stuff, hiding my fear behind the skirts of "I really need to pray about this." On the other hand, I have a lot of common sense, but sometimes it doesn't have enough sanctity. It's great to be able to make good decisions when they need to be made, but we must not forget the qualifier. My decisions only have one chance of being wise: if I'm actually walking in daily prayer.
