Bible verses for making decisions

When you have to choose and no option is clear.

Almost none of these verses tell you what to choose. They tell you how to choose, which is a different thing and usually the one you need.

Proverbs 16:3 asks you to commit your work to the Lord before your thoughts are settled, in that order. Proverbs 16:9 puts it plainly: a man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. And James 1:5 is the most practical of them all: if you lack wisdom, ask for it.

None of them spare you the decision. All of them change what you make it with.

  • Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
    Proverbs 16:3
