Indecision, the inability to make a firm choice or commitment, is a condition that can lead to spiritual stagnation and a lack of progress in one's faith journey. The Bible addresses the issue of indecision in various contexts, emphasizing the importance of decisiveness in following God's will and living a life of faith.

1. James 1:6-8 · The Apostle James warns against doubting and indecision in prayer, highlighting the instability it brings: "But let him ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."

2. 1 Kings 18:21 · The prophet Elijah challenges the Israelites to make a decisive choice between following God or Baal: "Elijah approached all the people and said, 'How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal is God, follow him.' But the people did not answer a word."

3. Joshua 24:15 · Joshua calls the Israelites to make a clear decision regarding whom they will serve: "But if it is unpleasing in your sight to serve the LORD, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD!"

4. Matthew 6:24 · Jesus teaches about the impossibility of serving two masters, illustrating the need for a decisive commitment: "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."

5. Revelation 3:15-16 · In the message to the church in Laodicea, the risen Christ rebukes their lukewarmness, a form of indecision: "I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other! So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth."

6. Proverbs 3:5-6 · The wisdom literature encourages trust in the Lord as a remedy for indecision: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."

7. Psalm 119:113 · The psalmist expresses disdain for double-mindedness, valuing God's law as a source of stability: "I hate the double-minded, but I love Your law."

These scriptures collectively underscore the spiritual peril of indecision and the necessity of a resolute heart in the pursuit of righteousness and obedience to God. The biblical narrative consistently calls believers to a life of unwavering faith and commitment, urging them to trust in God's guidance and make choices that align with His will.1 Kings 18:21
And Elijah came to all the people, and said, How long halt you between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
