As you make your decisions today, be sure to include God. How often we guilty of Leaving God out of our decision-making? If we fail to ask Lord to help us get to the heart of the matter, we might jump to a wrong conclusion.Including God in decision-making is a vital principle for the churches too. Sometimes when we're faced with a choice, the right answer seem obvious to us and those around us.
when seeking a new pastor or someone to lead a church ministry, we're tempted to look only at externals. But if we haven't asked God to get us past appearances to the heart, we haven't looked deep enough. we can't read hearts, but the Lord can. He knows when someone is closely following Him.
So how this apply to us?
A life verse to ponder

‘'Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.’
