Some are minor, some are major, but together they shape the direction of our lives. In the complex world in which we live, we desperately need God\u2019s wisdom to make sound decisions.<\/p><p data-start=\"1554\" data-end=\"1822\">Have you ever turned off the lights in a room and tried to walk to the other side in the dark? I have shut off the light and attempted to navigate a room without running into chairs and other obstacles along the way. What helps tremendously is the light on our phones!<\/p><p data-start=\"1824\" data-end=\"2028\">This world is a dark place, filled with many obstacles that can trip us up. But God\u2019s Word is our source of light. It shows us the path of God\u2019s wisdom so that we don\u2019t have to bang our shins in the dark.<\/p><p data-start=\"2030\" data-end=\"2221\">Psalm 119:18, 24, 98\u2013101, 104, 105, and 130 all speak to this truth. This kind of wisdom does not come from neglecting the Word until a crisis hits and then opening it for emergency guidance.<\/p><p data-start=\"2223\" data-end=\"2581\">You may have heard the story of the man who wanted to know God\u2019s will, so he opened the Bible at random and pointed to a verse. It read, <em data-start=\"2360\" data-end=\"2394\">\u201cJudas went and hanged himself.\u201d<\/em> Thinking that couldn\u2019t be right, he tried again. The next verse said, <em data-start=\"2465\" data-end=\"2488\">\u201cGo and do likewise.\u201d<\/em> Disturbed, he tried once more, and the verse he landed on read, <em data-start=\"2553\" data-end=\"2581\">\u201cWhat you do, do quickly!\u201d<\/em><\/p><p data-start=\"2583\" data-end=\"2766\">God\u2019s wisdom and direction do not come from random encounters with Scripture. They come from a deep, steady knowledge of His Word\u2014gained over years as a person walks closely with Him.<\/p><p data-start=\"2583\" data-end=\"2766\"><strong>Anchor For Today:<\/strong><br \/>God&#8217;s word provides light and direction so that we might walk without stumble.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Direction For Life \u201cYour word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.\u201d\u202d\u202dPsalms\u202c \u202d119\u202c:\u202d105\u202c We all have to make hundreds of decisions that determine the outcome of our lives.
