A Safe Direction

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.

In order to receive good guidance, we have to know where to put our trust. For example, those who are traveling in unfamiliar territory must rely on accurate maps and signs to arrive at their destinations, and people who are critically ill must rely on medical experts to prescribe the proper treatments. In the same way, you must realize your own spiritual limitations and rely on the Bible—the instruction manual for life—in matters of faith. It’s not possible for humans to understand all the complexities of life, but the Lord does. His Word will guide your decisions and show you the best way to live. Enjoy the direction and security he wants to provide.
