As for God, his way is perfect:
The Lord’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.
For who is God besides the Lord?
And who is the Rock except our God?
Psalm 18:30-31
Life is full of challenges, and challenges always seem to bring with them decisions and choices. When you think about it, our entire lives are built upon the decisions and choices we make. For many, the greatest challenge, and the most important choice we will ever make is what we should do about the Good News of salvation we received when we heard about the gospel message of Jesus Christ.
We may have a difficult time saying yest to Christ because of family dynamics or cultural or social concerns, or we might just be too embarrassed for others to know about it for some reason. Yet how we respond to that challenge not only affects the rest of our lives on earth, it affects our futures for all eternity to follow.
We all face many choices that have major impact in our lives. Life would be a lot simpler if there was a way to figure out the best choices to make, so that we don’t feel the need to decide not to decide as often as most of us do. Yet, there is such a way: God’s way.
I can only speak for myself here, but if you are like me, when I face a major decision, I usually have a pretty good idea what would most please God. Of course, from time-to-time that isn’t the choice that best pleases me, or someone around me. I’ve found that when I decide to choose God’s way, things turn out a whole lot better in the end than when I choose another way. I would imagine that you have probably had the same experience.
God will never lead us to bad or improper behavior that could get us into trouble. God will never send us into a trap. God will never lead us to destruction: He loves us too much for that.
As we continue through our lives, let’s remember these verses, because God’s way really is the best way to live.
