Jumping to Conclusions!

Have you ever had a situation where you judged a situation prematurely and JUMPED to Conclusions?

I know I have PLENTY of times. As a matter of fact I did, JUST Yesterday! In the whirlwind of circumstances it’s very important that we STOP, BREATHE, and Consult Wisdom! But not many of us naturally think like that…It’s almost like in those times there is such a haste to take things into your own hands, that you’re like a bull in a china shop, that no one can tell you anything! ANY major decision that is founded in haste will backfire horribly and in turn hurt many people, including you.

The anxiety of sharp decision making that we are sometimes driven to make are normally founded in FEAR and not TRUST! All to find out that the situation could’ve been handled in a more peaceful way! Why did this happen? It’s because you didn’t get ALL of the facts, rushed into a decision, and as a result offended and possibly hurt someone else.

It’s a shame that many times we end up doing THE SAME things to others that we have experienced ourselves, and it’s just a red flag that maybe we weren't as "perfect" as we thought in the first place! In times like these we need to consult wisdom to see what we need to do about the matter instead of hastily taking things into our own hands, making erratic decisions, and possibly losing the confidence of a partner, employee, boss, family member, or friend.

So I learned a HUGE lesson yesterday! It was a hard lesson… but I accepted the rebuke and made a heart change and turned in the opposite direction. So today, although it wasn’t filled with examples, and stories, I challenge you to get wisdom and understanding before you make a decision. It is VITAL that we get ALL of the facts and firsthand knowledge so that we are able to make sound decisions that will benefit our lives and the lives of those around us!

Run HARDER!!!!!!!
