My Decider

At Central we just finished a series titled: "One Word".  We were all given a small stack of post-it notes to write down simple words that describe who God is to us.  With that being said, I should explain that college is a weird place to be in life. You're on your own with a million different directions and possibilities.  There are so many decisions to make that you develop this fear of one wrong choice determining the rest of your life. 

I ate lunch with a friend who is in the same boat as me earlier this week and as we talked, a new word came into mind.  Decider.  We have all these choices to make, but the truth is God takes care of all that for us! He is our Decider.  Below is my own version of Psalm 23 that has led me to a greater trust in our Savior. 

The Lord is my decider, I shall not choose on a whim.

 He makes unsurpassed plans for me; Ones I could never fathom. 

He restores my focus in times of distress.  He leads me in paths of purpose

 for His name’s sake. 

Even though I walk in blind paths, I will fear no direction,

for You guide me with Your Word and hand,

 they bring me to commitment. 

You prepare the ways I go in the presence of the confused;

You anoint my feet with trust; my ways are boundless.

Surely your light and truth shall lead me all the days of my life

 And I shall live in Your will forever.
