Choosing the Perfect Path Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 4:8–12 Key Verse: Hebrews 13:15 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. When you are faced with a very crucial decision and you really want to do God’s best, what do you do? When you are rejected and criticized by someone you love very dearly, how do you respond? When you are tempted to indulge your carnal desire, where do you turn? If you depend on your own calculations to negotiate an important decision in life, there is absolutely no guarantee that your action will yield God’s best. While you may make a smart choice, your inability to see what lies ahead in life limits your capacity for decision making. But God, who sees all things, has plans to prosper you and to give you hope for your future. If you allow Him, He will make certain that you choose the perfect path for your life. Rejection and criticism can be literally debilitating, particularly when they come from loved ones. But there is no one who loves you more than your Father in heaven. When Jeremiah’s heart was faint, he turned to God to be his comforter (Jeremiah 8:18–19). You can too. The apostle Paul instructed believers to pray for deliverance from temptation. When you are in the throes of ungodly provocation, invoke the name of God. Direct your prayers to Him, and your heart will follow. A wise person looks to God to be his stronghold through trials. Realizing that you are no match for the snares of the enemy, it is always prudent to put your trust in God, who will never leave or forsake you. Lord, on my own I am nothing. Thank You that You are always there to give me love and guidance when I am feeling battered.
