Pastor John Piper explains the ground and steps he takes in making decisions for the glory of God.

In sum, there are four steps:

1. I pray that God will hallow His name in and through me.

2. I try to meditate upon the Scripture day and night, desiring to saturate my thinking with the structure of God’s thinking.

3. I consciously pin my hope in the promise of God to work in everything for my good, so that my mind and heart are at rest in his mercy.

4. As I confront moral choices during the day, if time and circumstances allow, I try to understand the effects of each choice on people’s lives.

Are your decisions kingdom choices – or are they for your gratification or advancement?
