Remember the days of paper maps and the Thompson’s Street Guide. You would pull out the street guide to determine how to get to a house or business you’d never gone to before. You would go to AAA to get state maps whenever you were taking a longer trip. My wife loved those things and watched them meticulously while we were driving. We had dozens of them in the car.
Nowadays, we have Google Maps or a Map program built right into the car. You don’t even have to watch the map, a voice tells you when to turn and how far until the next turn.
Wouldn’t it be great if we had a Google Decision program? We could put in the parameters of a decision we are facing. The program would then take us step-by-step through the twists and turns of making the best decisions. And we would arrive at the destination we desired healthy and wise.
Unfortunately there is no Google Decision program available to us, yet. But God does promise to provide us wisdom if we ask (James 1:5). He knows the best way for us to go and will instruct us in that way. In Psalm 32:8 God says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I wll cousel you with my eye upon you.” Go to God and listen for his voice. It is much better than Google Decision.
