Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

 Life provides many opportunities to either succeed or fail. Choosing the right path for yourself can be complicated and confusing. Many question their choices and sadly stay frozen with anxiety and fear of the unknown. Failure is not an option, but you know that the consequences of wrong choices can be costly and right now you probably can’t afford any mistakes, both financially and emotionally.

 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

 Today’s passage is a great reminder where to put your confidence for life’s decisions. God has a plan for your life and whether you recognize it or not, many of your past mistakes and failures were all part of His plan to bring you to this point in life. They are called “growing pains” and yeah, they come with some feelings of regret and pain, but the realness of the situation is they provide a guided path towards God’s plan to grow and develop you more into the character of Jesus Christ.

 When you truly release life’s decisions faithfully into the hands of God, He takes your mustard seed of faith and channels you down a specific path to grow you and help you navigate the pitfalls of this world. He will never lead you into sin. That one is on you if you fall prey to temptation, but remember, God even makes a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). God’s plan for your life is one you can truly count on to benefit you. Learning to let God have the wheel of your life is the only thing holding you back from a self-fulfilling and blessed life.
