Send us your questions and reflections!
You're facing a decision and you feel paralyzed. You've prayed, asked for advice, made pro-and-con lists—but you're still stuck, unsure which way to go. What if one verse could be the compass you need to navigate that decision with confidence?
Welcome to the final episode of Week 2 in our "Start Small: Small Steps. Big Results" series. We've explored memorizing Scripture, applying it practically, meditating on God's promises, and seeking His guidance through encountering Jesus. Now we're bringing it all together with one final practice: choosing a guiding verse.
Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." This isn't just inspirational—it's transformational. Trust God completely. Don't rely solely on your own logic. Submit everything to Him. And when you do, He will guide you.
The Principle: Let Scripture influence your choices—not just inform them or inspire them, but actually influence them. A guiding verse anchors your decisions in God's truth rather than emotions, circumstances, or others' opinions. It becomes your North Star when everything is shifting and voices pull you in different directions.
The Problem: We know verses, but we hesitate to let them actually influence our decisions. We make choices based on what feels safe, what makes logical sense, or what others think—while the verse we read that morning gets drowned out by anxiety. Knowing Scripture isn't the same as letting Scripture influence you.
The Five-Step Practice:
What You'll Learn:
Your Challenge: Pick a decision or area where you need guidance this coming week. Ask God for a verse to guide you. Write it down, keep it visible, and actually let it influence your choices. Before you decide, pause, read the verse, and ask if your choice aligns with it.
Episode Length: 11 minutes
Let Scripture influence your choices. That's how God's Word transforms your life.
