Which Way to Go?

   The bible doesn't say "Matthew, you should go to Orlando University and study for an MBA", or "Mary, you should buy a 2011 Toyota Avalon from a car dealership in Arizona", or "Mark, you should mary a blonde girl from Canada who's name is Hannah." But, the Lord does guide us. When it comes to right and wrong and general knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, the Proverbs are a great way to grow. In here you will find God giving us tools for guidance through life by wisdom. In the proverbs, this wisdom is absolutely beautiful. And if we want to show others Christ through our actions, quite honestly the Proverbs are necessary. So, God's Word is one way that guidance is provided to us on earth. Another thing that some overlook is that God speaks. Not always through gigantic clouds on mountains with thunder and lightening, but through people, or our spirit, or through a preacher, parent, or by many other means. The thing is, we have to be open to hearing the guidance of God, which takes time. We should be paying attention to what God may be trying to tell us in our lives. Praying, for example, is a good way to do this. If you have a question or need guidance about something, prayer is definitely a good way to go. Just ask God to show, help, and God you and for Wisdom on what to do. He never fails. God guides. -AJ
