The Best Decision

From: In Touch Ministries

Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not rely on your own understanding. In all things be mindful of Him, and He will direct your paths."

With so many voices clamoring for us to follow worldly paths, we sometimes struggle to hear and apply God’s wisdom. Godly wisdom is the capacity to view things as the Lord does and to respond according to biblical principles. This discernment isn’t automatic. We all have the choice (free will) whether or not to pursue the wise way.

If a person is going to walk wisely, he or she must commit to remaining on the right path—that is, to determine in the heart, "I will follow God no matter what." Pleasing the Lord and conforming to His likeness are always the right things to do.

Resolving to honor the Lord transforms the way that believers make decisions. The Holy Spirit’s quiet voice becomes easier to discern, and those worldly shouts fade. You have a loving heavenly Father who honors the heartfelt commitment to walk according to His will. Following Him is always the best decision.
