Takut akan TUHAN adalah permulaan pengetahuan, tetapi orang bodoh menghina hikmat dan didikan. (AMSAL 1:7) Tetapi carilah dahulu kerajaan Allah dan kebenarannya, maka semuanya itu akan ditambahkan kepadamu. (Matius 6: 33)

Taking hasty decisions
Proverbs 21 : 5 - " The design of the diligent brings sheer abundance , but everyone who haste will only experience a shortage . "
Just because decisions too quickly , people could experience substantial losses that may be difficult to rectify in a short time . This happened to a friend of mine . The story is like this . At one time he offered her to invest in something . As tempted by the promise of profits , he hurriedly said yes , even though his wife and children were trying to remind her to think well in advance considering the money that should be invested not less.
Ironically, he later confessed to me that his heart is actually also less comfortable each time praying about this investment . But it was , because the promised benefits seem great , he fears trigger bid taken by others and took the decision to do that . He sold the land , cars and valuables to pawn some even had time to pay off the debt for the appropriate deal. It did not take long for him to realize that he made a big mistake .
Investments failed and his money taken away . He also knew it was defrauded , but regrets came too late . Until now he is still struggling to cover its debts and should be willing to lose so many treasures , not to mention the guilt that he should bear in front of his wife and son who had also come to bear and suffer due to carelessness which he did .
There is one more that I know continues to fail in business . During at least the last 10 years , he continues to try to build efforts but continue to go bankrupt . Loss he experienced was very much , even colleagues and his brother had already become victims because investing with him . Inquired have inquired , it turned out he was the type of person who does not care. He did not like to think and plan carefully before doing anything , do not want to be bothered and too hasty in making decisions . And as a result , he kept changing business and continues to fall . Although he was not the type to give up easily, but the loss of time, money , energy and so on are so great .
A hasty attitude does not always bring good or profits , but losses and kemalanganlah that often result . Regarding the loss of the people who like haste or rush to take decisions , Solomon had warned since thousands of years ago . " The design of the diligent brings sheer abundance , but everyone who haste will only experience a shortage . " Proverbs 21 : 5
People are hasty in making a decision or do something will never get good results , it will only lose . Such is the people who do not pay attention to the importance of calculation before stepping . They tend to be hasty , haphazard act without wisdom , without consideration , inaccurate and so on . And consequently loss or kejatuhanlah that be the outcome .
To cover the losses could be far more expensive than if it was done from the beginning to mature and careful consideration . In fact it is possible also that the consequences should be borne eventually the rest of life and can no longer be repaired .
Solomon said that the design of diligent people who bring in abundance , not hasty . There is no word that means planning design , careful consideration and carefully, and then there is the word ' diligent ' in there . Diligent in what way ? In many ways , such as diligent thinking , diligent account properly , diligently weigh , studious , industrious , diligent hear your advice or input from others and so on , including of course prayerful .
Word of God also says : "Therefore , consider carefully , how you live , not as fools , but as wise ... Therefore do not be foolish , but see that you understand the will of the Lord . " Ephesians 5 : 15 , 17
We must be wise , wise and not foolish or stupid to understand the will of the Lord upon us , because that's the best . We must remember that " the Lord set the steps people whose lives are pleasing to HIM . " Psalm 37 : 23
This promise of God that has been conveyed to us in advance . Our sensitivity to the voice of the Lord will enable us to keep every step in order to plan the Lord fulfilled in sequence after sequence of our lives . This is exactly what is done by the Psalmist : " I think the streets of my life , and stepped my foot towards thy warnings . " Psalm 119 : 49
Furthermore, in Proverbs says , "You have to draft in the human heart , but the decision is implemented LORD . " Proverbs 19 : 21That means it is important to align the Lord every step according to plan so that we do not waste time in vain and continue to experience losses .
We must listen carefully to what used to actually plan the Lord for our lives , then do it exactly like that with careful consideration in every step of planning. And Solomon had said : "Commit to the Lord , and your plans will succeed . " Proverbs 16 : 3
Avoid careless and hasty in taking decisions , whether related to employment , investment , family and so on . Are you a leader at work , in the neighborhood , in the organization , institution or just in the family , you need the ability to take the right decision .
Hesitations in taking consideration , confused in the face of many options or as a theme we are today , in a hurry or rush into a decision will only bring loss , regret and sorrow , both to yourself and to others .
Before you take a decision , do a thorough consideration prior to thinking about the various aspects related including those involved either directly or indirectly . Think carefully , do not rush . Take time to calm down and be quiet , patient and pray . Ask the Lord of the steps you will take , listen carefully and make sure that there are not personal desires that hinder the Lord to be your voice heard .
Although you are diligent and persistent in fighting for something , without deliberation , a hasty decision that you can make a wrong move and consequently suffered no small loss . " Without knowledge kerajinanpun not good ; those who would hastily missteps . " Proverbs 19 : 2
Do not be careless , but be a wise man , a wise man will always think mature and cautious in their stride and dutifully obey the will of the Lord . Carelessness due haste in making a decision could be the beginning of the arrival of many problems and disasters .
Look carefully at every step , aligning with the Lord's plan and stick to its provisions . Delaying decision-making is not a good thing , but haste can bring severe consequences for our bear . Especially for a big decision , do not rush .
Take time to consider and submit to the Lord before you take. Hasty decisions without good judgment could bring huge losses .
