Do you ever come to a dead-end and wonder which way to go? Should you go to the right or should you go to the left? Some of life’s circumstances present choices that are very easy to make. Other situations are more complex and require choices that can be very difficult to make – especially when other factors hinge on those choices.

There may be pros and cons to each direction. Which way to choose? Don’t stress! God knows the best way to go! He has a plan and if you will follow His plan you can expect the best results. Sound simple? It is. Obedience is a simple choice. Having said that, the emotions that arise may cause an inner tug-of-war.

I have often found – in my life – that following God’s choice doesn’t always make logical sense, yet deep down in my gut I know what I need to do. Often, a gut reaction is a spiritual nudging of the Lord. Think about different scenarios in the Bible. God spoke to Abraham (who was then Abram) to leave his country and his family. He didn’t know where God was going to take him yet he knew that he needed to follow God’s leading.

I’m sure it didn’t seem logical when the Israelites were instructed to march around Jericho in silence – once a day for six days! They would be in plain sight for their enemies to see. How strange that must have seemed to both the Israelites and their foes! Then, on the seventh day, instead of attacking, they were instructed to shout. Another seemingly bizarre order. Yet, the outcome was exactly what God wanted. No other course of action would have produced the same result.

God knows what He’s doing and He knows the best choices we need to make. Ask Him what He wants you to do. Trust Him in the direction He wants to lead you.
