Are snap judgments always wrong? Is second guessing a decision made on a whim always good? How many of us have made intuitive decisions on the spur of the moment that have turned out to be the right thing to do? On the other side of the coin, we often see people who make impulsive decisions which they don’t stick with. Is a snap decision like the parable of the seed sown on stony ground that quickly springs up but has not root and no staying power? The disciples’ sudden decision to follow Jesus (Matthew 4:12-23) seems to contradict that idea. It is appropriate to make some choices speedily, even decisions with life long consequences. Going with our instincts can be the right choice. If we trust that Jesus will lead us to green pastures, why delay following him?Intuitive decisions
