In life there are many decision that we have to make. Some of those will undoubtedly be so similarly bad, that it is as if we were forced to choose between which poison to die from: Hemlock, or Cyanide? Nevertheless, we should strive to make our choices decisively. As it is in the concise decision that the Lord guides us.
From my own personal experience, I've observed that when I make a decision then hesitate on that and choose another; it often leads to a disaster which would have been prevented if I had just stuck with my initial choice. As a man that does his best to follow the Lord's laws and the teachings of Jesus, I believe that God will guide me in all my ways -- so long as I keep faith with Him.
In learning to trust that the Lord will guide us, we can start to fathom what it is to "listen" for His voice. It may not be as overt as it often is in the Bible, but even just a feeling can be the equivalent of His words. That word could come at any moment and in any situation, so we should always do our best to listen. When especially strenuous situations arise, actively listening for the Lord should be our go to decision. Even your conscience can serve to be a directive from God.
