Decisions

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psalm 119:105 KJV)

We all need to make decisions as we navigate through life. Depending on our nature, we might love figuring it all out or it might scare us. For most of us, it’s probably a bit of both.

God’s Word is like reflectors on a dark road. The reflectors show you the divide between the lanes, so you don’t veer into oncoming traffic, and they show you the edge of the road, so you don’t drop off into a ravine.

Knowing God’s Word gives you a set of boundaries and provides guidance to help keep you on course. God has a unique plan for each of our lives.

Since God created us in His image with free will to make decisions, we get to be active participants in determining and pursuing that plan.

If you already know where you’re going, stay close to God’s Word and let it guide you along the path.

If you aren’t sure where you’re going, focus on living as God’s Word teaches us to, and God will put His plan in your heart.—Mara Hodler [1]

O Lord, may I be directed what to do and what to leave undone.—Elizabeth Fry (1780–1845)
