Psalm 121:2-3   ² My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.  ³ He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.

Too often we make decisions as though we are alone in the process. We weigh all of the options and choose what seems to be the logical course of action. If the circumstances change we re-weigh the options and decide accordingly. The problem with this process is that we can find ourselves being blown here and there by the winds of change and uncertainty.

We need to remember that we are not alone. The Lord is always with us. And God never sleeps. God is aware of all the directions we might go. He knows whether a decision will lead to success or peril. He knows when we should move or when we should stand firm.

As we consider the courses we might take, we need to ask God for the insight and discernment necessary to make the right choices. We need to remember that God has our best interests at heart and the ability to control our futures if we but surrender our wills to His care.

Lord, you are ever vigilant. Keep us steady and lead us in the way we should go. Amen.
