A Failproof Guide for Decisions and Choices
Your word is a lamp to my feet. And a light to my path.
Have you ever lost your way and had to agonize before you found the right path? Have you made a wrong choice, judgement or decision that resulted in unpleasant consequences? How did you feel then? Terrible, isn’t it?
Conversely, have you embarked on a journey to an unknown destination and got there without hassle? Or did you make a choice/decision that proved an instant hit? You must have felt on top of the world then, and if such a call was made in the presence of others, you would feel like a star!
Life is a journey in destinations, choices, and decisions. There is no living without any of these three. You cannot avoid them, no matter your age or status. Not having a destination you are aspiring in life is a journey to nowhere, while refusing to make a choice/decision is a choice/decision on its own.
There are so many things we do not know or cannot see outside the present. Therefore, to make decisions and judgements about mundane or important life issues, we need a higher intelligence. We need the guidance of God Who has been around before any of us and who has seen more of life than us. While we may not hear His voice every moment we need to make a decision, we can learn His thoughts on various matters by reading our Bible, so that when we need to decide on anything, we can draw from our knowledge of what He has said concerning such.
The Bible is a failproof guide for navigating the different curves of life. There is no better resource for dispelling the clouds of confusion and pointing in an unambiguous direction. In the passage above, the Psalmist describes the word of God as a lamp in the darkness that helps a journeyman to know where to put his feet. The Bible is also compared to a light that illuminates the path to help one know the direction to go.
In other words, by studying and meditating on the word of God every day, you can failproof every decision and choice you will make on that given day such that they are hits rather than misses. Ensure you read it every day.
You will succeed in Jesus’ Name!
