The Choice that we make
We're always walking and moving and looking and making choices in the mazes of life. We are the sum total of the decisions that we make and God wants all of us, we've been saying throughout this series, to become great decision makers. Because our decisions determine our destiny. Who we are, the kind of people that God has wired us up to be, has a major league impact on the kind of decisions that we will make in these mazes of life. And that's what I want to touch on today.
Who are you as a decision maker? Because as we begin to develop this design that we all uniquely have, I think we'll see how heavily it influences the choices that we make. And as I talk about your design and my design you might kind of say, "Aha! I get it now. I had no idea how much my personality influences and impacts the decisions and choices that I make in the maze of life."
So, let's kind of talk about that for a second. And while you're thinking about the kind of decision maker that you are I want to draw a couple of things on this dry erase board. This right here is a funnel. Just put this funnel in the frontal lobe for a second. That's a pretty big funnel. Alright. Now let's draw a smaller funnel. (I'm a frustrated artist.) So we have the big funnel and the small funnel. Am I going too fast? I'm going to come back to those funnels and talk about them more and more as we discuss this designer decision making situation.
What kind of decision maker are you? As we talk about this, think about you. Don't think about your spouse. Don't say, "Well, my spouse… Listen wife, listen husband, you need to watch this. That is you right there. That's the way you make decisions." Don't do that. Or don't say, "Hey my boss needs this. I'm going to buy this CD and put it in his CD player. He needs to understand why he makes these wheels off decisions. He is this. He is that. No wonder he's all messed up." Don't do that. Just think about you. Think about how you are uniquely wired up. Think about your decision making style. Because we all have certain styles, and the styles are good.
According to Sexperiment [http://thesexperiment.net] that the Bible mentions these styles, and let's talk about some of the styles the Bible mentions as far as making decisions. The first style and, and when I write this style down a lot of you are going to laugh. You'll go, "Oh, that's me. That's me."
