Facing a Major Decision? God Will Guide You
Not once does God’s Word say, “Figure it out on your own,” but many times He promises to direct our steps and show us the right path.
Have you ever struggled over a major decision?
August 26 marks five years since my husband and I packed our earthly belongings into a moving van and left Camp Homewood. We’d served there for eleven years, most of our kids’ growing up years.
Eight months prior, International Messengers, a US-based ministry, had asked us to launch a Canadian office and we were faced with making a major decision. Stay where it’s comfortable for us? Or uproot everything familiar and start a new venture? What to do?
God guides through the Word
We prayed and read the Word. Psalm 32:8 gave us confidence that God would direct,
‘The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life; I will advise you and watch over you.’”
We prayed some more. A couple of months passed, and we both agreed that we felt peace about accepting IM’s invitation to serve. Circumstances played into our decision, too. We’ve never looked back.
As a child of God, I’m so grateful that my Father doesn’t leave me to flounder through life. Not once does His Word say, “Figure it out on your own,” but many times He promises to direct our steps and show us the right path.
If you’re facing a major decision, claim this verse as a promise. Do what you believe God is telling you to do (it will always agree with His written Word), and don’t second-guess yourself after making your choice.
