If you’ve ever had to make a big fork-in-the-road, planning-for-the-rest-of-your-life, no-turning-back decision in your life {which I’m sure most of us have}, then you understand just how exhausting, confusing, and sometimes seemingly quit-worthy the process can be. How do I know what the right choice is? Is option A a good pick? Is option B wrong? Are any of them wrong? Should I just pick one and try it out? What will happen if something doesn’t go right? Does that mean I’ve made a mistake?
Sometimes, you just want someone else to be driving.
Over the past few months, I’ve gone back and forth {maybe a hundred times} on a God-sized question lingering in my tiny little human brain, not stopping to realize that first and foremost, God has already chosen my path for me. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your path straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6) was my leading life verse in high school and college, yet somehow it didn’t seem to help me. Maybe I had become hardened, stubborn, and more “instinctual” like the rest of the world.
But I know that often what feels like “human instinct” is in fact, the Holy Spirit, working on God’s behalf to guide you through it all. Our Counselor. Our Decision-Maker.
Our Driver.
So I feel free. Happy, in God’s favor, and joyous that His decisions are mine too!
Be blessed my friends.
