Three Biblical Principles
Making Decisions
1. Living by trust
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5
![Page 8: Kim May Sr . Pastor](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813bfb550346895da5476f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
We are responsible with our understanding, but we are not leaning on our understanding.

We are responsible with our understanding, but we are not leaning on our understanding.
We often live in the creative tension between personal responsibility and
spiritual sensitivity.
