“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” - Psalm 32:8 (NIV)
Are important decisions difficult to make because we fret and worry if we are making the right decision? What are we deciding? A change of jobs? A move? A relationship? Or maybe a family decision for our parents or children? We worry if we are making the right decision. Not knowing the future is a common source of worry. Without help many of us use the flying dart method, or maybe the ever trustworthy “Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe.” Some of us may seek counseling or advice from others. Our promise from God in today’s verse assures us that if we rely on Him, looking and listening for His guidance, He will provide the counsel we need. He will instruct and teach us the way He wants us to go. Fretting over a decision is a waste of time. Not knowing the future is why we fret and worry. If only we could know exactly the result of our decisions, we might not be so worried. God has promised us the help we need even though we will never know the outcome before its time.
