Have you been hiking before? With a map, compass and all of the things you need? You surely came across a cross section in the path and had to decide whether to turn left or right. It’s only a problem if you have taken the wrong turn. That means loss of time, detours and costs energy and at some point you might even ask yourself if you will ever reach the goal.
Life is similar. We arrive at points in life where we must decide on a path to take.Whether it is a decision in your job, for school, for a boyfriend or a girlfriend and lots more besides. You will notice that life is made up of lots and lots of decisions. Sometimes we ask ourselves afterwards why we made such a decision and then we realise years later that we were just wandering around without having any perspective.
Jesus wants to show us a way, we wants us to be able to separate the essential from the inessential so that we make it through life better. If we trust him, lots of things become easier. Try it out.
Proverbs 4:
"10 My child, listen to me and do as I say,and you will have a long, good life.
11 I will teach you wisdom’s waysand lead you in straight paths.
12 When you walk, you won’t be held back;when you run, you won’t stumble.
13 Take hold of my instructions; don’t let them go.Guard them, for they are the key to life."
