Holy Decisions

Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way he should choose.
Psalm 25:12

Life is one continuous decision—making process from childhood through the golden years. Thankfully, God is willing to give us clear guidance about every choice we make—regardless if it’s major or minor. However, when He speaks, He expects us to respect Him—doing as He instructs.

In fact, His Word tells us, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom” (Psalm 111:10 NIV). In other words, if you’re going to be wise, you must honor His direction, serving Him instead of yourself And you do so because of your steadfast confidence in His sovereignty and character.

So consider—are you in the midst of a difficult situation today? Friend, understanding that the Savior is perfect in His knowledge, all—sufficient in His strength, and unconditionally loving toward you is key to submitting to Him for your future. So reevaluate your situation in light of His trustworthy character and obey however He directs you to proceed. Because you’ll be sure to make excellent decisions when you do.

Lord, I submit to Your unfailing wisdom Lead me in the way I should go, amen. 

In His presence… be reverent, yielding, and confident.

EVERY DAY IN HIS PRESENCE, CHARLES F. STANLEY
