Focus Verses Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.”
We make hundreds of choices everyday. Many of those choices are not that important. When getting dressed in the morning you may decide to wear red socks. That’s a choice that is not very important. Some of you reading this devotion have made the decision of who you will marry. Now that is a very important decision that will have an impact on the rest of your life. I’m thankful that the Lord helped me make the right decision in who to marry.
Some people say “just follow your heart in making decisions.” Jeremiah 17:9 says, “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?” Following your heart is a bad idea. Our focus verses tell us to trust in the Lord and not to depend on our own understanding. When we seek His will for our lives He will show us the right way. Why is God able to help us make better decisions than we can for ourselves? Because God knows the future and we don't. God knows what the outcome of every decision is. No matter how much you think you know about life, you don’t know what tomorrow will bring. So God wants to help us make choices that will benefit us and not to harm us. God’s path, even if it's a challenging path, will lead us to an abundant life in Him. That’s why we need to put our trust in Him and not our heart that can lead us astray. So let’s choose the right path in asking God to give us wisdom in our choices.
