When we have to make an important decision, it is sometimes difficult to discern the direction to go. It may be a decision to take a job or what college to go to, or it may be how to deal with a challenging person or situation in your life.

Often, we have our own agenda and may look for affirmation from God for the decision we want. But that is not seeking God’s path for our lives, it’s only fortifying our own. In today’s pause we will look at a decision you are needing to make in your life and recognize which one God may be pulling you toward.

The listening portion today is from Proverbs 3:6 – and different translations of it.

“In all of your ways, be mindful of God, and God will make straight your paths.” Magnificat

“Submit to God…” New International Version

“Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go, God is the one who will keep you on track.” The Message

“Seek God’s will in all you do.” New Living Translation

“Give God the credit for everything you accomplish, God will smooth and straighten the road that lies ahead.” The Voice

“In all of your ways know and acknowledge and recognize God.” Amplified Version

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
    and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
    and he will make straight your paths.
Be not wise in your own eyes;
    fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your flesh
    and refreshment to your bones.” ESV
