RRR_Decisiveness

 


Years ago, there was a movement in business, especially in business schools, universities and colleges had to do with just make a decision! Because after the decision. Obviously there's going to have to be adjustments and there are always adjustments in every project that's ever proposed. So the big statement was just make a decision. 

 Well, here's the thing about decisiveness. It's not so much that you're just making a decision, it's actually taking into consideration the factors that need to go into the result that you're considering. So decisiveness is a learned behaviour and it's very much a behaviour that can be improved upon. 

 I love to play Chess. And more than loving to play it, I love to win and I hate to lose, but I also just love to play the game. Well here's the thing after learning a style of opening in Chess. You can win an awful lot of games because it's a very hard opening to combat against. So there's some decisiveness involved in that; decisiveness is not just jumping blithely off the cliff, and saying, I hope something catches me on the way down. That's not decisiveness. Most folks would say that has to be considered foolishness, so decisiveness is extremely important in levelled amounts. 

 It means weighing things out there's a statement in the old testament "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin;" (Dan 5:25 vv.) it was the handwriting on the wall. It said that the Empire was in trouble, it said that the king was in dire trouble and what it said was that his life was weighed and found wanting in the measure. Decisiveness is weighing the good against the bad, and so it is, in some sense, a dychotomous decision-making process. But much of what decisiveness involves is not just a dichotomy's oppositional kind of logic, but a way of looking at things from the other aspect, looking at things from not just the result, but from even the effort of the journey that goes into the result. 

Decisiveness is a learned behaviour and as a learned behaviour it is one that can be improved upon. So one thing to pass on to your disciples is that if they feel like they are not capable of being decisive even after prayer, even after spending time with the master Jesus; because if there's ever been a master of decisiveness, it was Jesus Christ, and so even after spending time with the master. If they feel inadequate about decision-making processes. Take some time to learn; particularly logic. Particularly, the ways that decisions are made, because decisiveness can be improved upon. 

So don't ever think that you can't improve upon it and pass that on to those who are learners that when you're striving to get closer to Jesus and back to Jesus, decisiveness would seem to be a prethought to a permanent thought to make that happen regularly.

View on Vocaroo >> Why laugh? 🤣 Heard a short on the joy of the Lord is our strength? Made me remember, that is recount, which in working with learners (disciples), is the time to recertify, which is an old but very true Newspaper writer saying: "Tell them, then tell them what you told them, then tell them once more memorably." Huh? How do you make a three time repeat interesting? Remember your first...? 🤣 In my pretty boring, unexciting, calm life; I've been fired lots of times. Sometimes it was on me, sometimes, it was on them- now, watch this one- it's gonna getcha, sometimes it was on God. Ooh that'll make some folk getonup😆But watch this:  Jhn 9:1  -  And   as   Jesus   passed by,   he saw   a man   which was blind   from   his   birth. Tools Jhn 9:2  -  And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, th...

View on Vocaroo >> Tasty, is a lovely word, sounds near sweet? Tenderloin is one of our favorite meats, as a meal we eat it with Rice-a-Roni or just rice; usually I try to make some gravy to go with the rice, and we have a vegetable. There is almost always some left over meat that I refrigerate in it's juice. A day or two later put that into a pan, as the frozen meat and juice heats up it fills the pan- then I'll add barbeque sauce to that and it boils down to the point the tenderloin falls apart and it's now pulled pork bbq for a marvelous sandwich. Tasty, it really, is. When Holy Spirit drew you from hell, usually by bringing you to your senses, of how messed up you were? When Holy Spirit does that, you are like a cooked meal that's been set aside in the refrigerator- you are preserved, but your function is stopped. Before, you were a meal, now, your just preserved. Holy Spirit gets hold of you, now you may feel some heat, you will be changing- becoming what ...

View on Vocaroo >> There are so many memories to your Christ experience. Remembering is in a very unsalted way, forming your story of what Christ has done. Get who, what, when, where and possibly why or how, together so it makes sense. Now we season... Dana you mix metaphors a bunch, we're writing, your using a cooking analogy? Ah you caught me...throwin Jalapenoes instead of pepper...and I'm in great company, the gospel is loaded with things that are like other things, the Bible has tons of metaphor...oops, that's a pun, huh? A coin, in a fishes mouth? To pay taxes? For both of them? See any metaphor there? Miracle aside, Peter a now fisher of men? Jesus now proving his earthly existence- ooh, here's one for history buffs, did the takers of taxes keep records? (Matt 17:27) What miracle, other than new birth, eating food that turns into energy, bones? Water rather than air? Both have Oxygen one way it's wet, the other we breathe, now can you begin to glimps...
