“He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered” (Proverbs 28:26).
“O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps” (Jeremiah 10:23).
Naturally speaking, all of us like to direct our own way, and decide what we want to do. We think that we can look at situations and decide how to handle them. But the Bible says that we are not really capable of this, and that to trust in our own hearts is foolish. We do not know what may happen tomorrow, or even later today. Only the Lord knows the future and can show us the right way.
When we are young, there are many big decisions to be made, such as how much education to get, what kind of career we pursue, where we might live, whom we might marry, etc. It is most important to go to the Lord and ask Him what to do. If we really want to know His mind for our life, He will show us. But we must be walking with the Lord in order to be able to hear His voice, and to know His mind for us. He wants to lead and guide us, first of all for His glory, and then for our blessing too.
