No matter what stage of life we walk through, we are often faced with forks in the road, decisions to make and questions about how to discern the will of God in our lives. You may be faced with choices about your job, college, a move, or a relationship, or you could be dealing with everyday decisions about how to spend your time, your money, and your energy. When you aren't sure which path is best, remember that God's ultimate goal is for us to glorify Him with our lives and He will guide us along the way.
Worship the One True Way
A truth that hit me between the eyes as a young adult was that Jesus is the way; not Jesus will point me to the way or He will walk beside me on the way, BUT the fact that He IS the Way. He is the only way, which means wherever we go, we go there IN Him. Today Lord, I worship You are the One true Way, the only possible option for me to know God and be in relationship with Him. I ask You to deepen my understanding of this truth - that You are the Way and that I must live IN You in order to be on the right path.
John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Appropriate the truth of scripture as you grow in your walk of faith
Lord, increase my ability to trust in Your sovereignty, to lay down my desire to be in control and to rest in Your leadership. I want to lean upon Your wisdom instead of trying to walk in my own way. Lord, in all these decisions I make, may I always seek to honor You and follow Your lead.
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
Light - Walk in the light by openly confessing your sins and need for God
Lord, sometimes I forget that I am only where I am because of the Grace of God. Your Way is forgiveness, grace, and restoration. Remind me that I have no place to judge others or to criticize when You have forgiven me of all of my shortcomings, my hidden sins and failures. Help me remember that Your kindness and patience are supposed to bring me (all of us) to repentance. Today, I repent of the sins that have a hold on me, the ways I continue to think I'm better than others and put myself on the throne. Forgive me Lord, and fill me with Your kindness and patience for others.
Romans 2: 1- 4
You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
Know Him more and more as you spend time with Him daily
Lord, I want to know You as my wise counselor, my God who is always with me, the One who makes known to me the path of life. Your way is always secure and full of joy.
Psalm 16:7-11
I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.
I have set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being[e] rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
or let your holy one see corruption.
You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Praying that God will lead you in whatever challenges you are facing today. Trust Him and He will make your path straight.
