What Is Driving My Decisions?

Have you ever made a decision that you regretted?
The answer is, "of course!" All of us have a nice little collection of decisions we regret. Some of them were inconsequential; others still affect our lives today.

The main source of our regret is often we are ashamed of what we allowed to drive our decision (e.g. inattention, inebriation, fear, lust, disordered values, etc.)

In this message we look at 1 Kings 22 where we were able to consider what was driving the decisions of three different people and we saw ourselves in these descriptions:

• We, like Ahab, run into trouble when we fail to let God be in charge, like Ahab.

• We don't often follow Micaiah's example to (only) speak as God would want us to.

• We, like Jehoshaphat,run into trouble when we fail to act on what we know is right.

So for you, what is driving your decisions today? Is it to make others care for you? To impress someone? To cover our flaws? Or....are we driven instead by our security in God? By our desire to please God?
