Somethings I know nothing about, including cosmetics, floral arrangements, and nuclear science. Somethings I know a little about, including computers, current events, and automobiles. Somethings I think I know a lot about, including baseball, fellowship, and my own likes/dislikes. But there is one thing that I am absolutely sure about. That is that I don’t know everything about anything. No matter the subject and no matter how much I think I know about it, there is always more for me to know.
So why is it that I can go about my day making hundreds of decisions, thinking that I know enough to make the right decisions. Obviously I don’t have all the necessary information to make a trustworthy choice. Now, I do have to make some choices to go on with my day and function somewhat normally as a human.
What can I do to make more “right” decisions? Proverbs 3:5-6 offers me trustworthy advice. It says, “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 your paths straight.” So to make a good decision I need to stop and turn it over to the one who does know it all. God can be trusted to lead me in the correct and righteous ways.
