Yesterday I shared seven things to help you make wise decisions. Now I want to take a closer look at them one at a time. First clearly identify your core values. They are an extension of who you are as a person and a spiritual leader. For example, my core values are: 1) Absolute obedience to the Lord. 2) A commitment to empower those I serve. 3) A commitment to excellence in everything I do. You cannot make a decision that violates your core values without betraying yourself so never make a decision that violates your core values. Remember, whether you realize it or not your decisions will reflect who you are as a person.

“Discretion will protect you,
and understanding will guard you.”

— Proverbs 2:11 (NIV)

Lord, help us to always be true to our core values. Amen.
