Decisions...

"Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."

As a single, unemployed, non collegiate, 20 year old male; I am facing a lot of decisions in all those areas (excepting of course my age). I am not anxious, or discontent about any of it; but I am definitely unsure about pretty much all of it. I have tried to use my authorities to sift out some options and make choices easier for me, but I am uncharacteristically empowered to make my own decisions these days (looks like it's time for Micah to grow a backbone).

Job 1 has better advancement potential, and job 2 would look great on a resume...
But job 3 pays more, and job 4 is closer to home...
Could I work job 5 while doing job 2 or 4?

Here's the bottom line: I am trying to use my 20 year old intellect to figure out what's best for me. Everything is wrong with that picture: despite what I like to think, my intellect is pretty limited at 20; and what's best for me doesn't matter anyway!

As I read through Psalm 37 this evening every other verse seemed to demand a reliance on God for success. This is an elementary fact, but I still need to be reminded.

If I commit my way to God, and actually trust him what ever comes; He will bring it to pass, and I can rejoice in what he does with my life even if it's the last choice I would have, in my lack of wisdom, made for myself.

Thank you God, for showing me just what I needed to see...

"The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way."
