Guideline #1:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
Proverbs 3:5a

This is more than a belief in God. This is where you take your faith to the point of commitment.
You put God in charge of your life.
Do you believe this tightrope walker can push this wheelbarrow across Niagra Falls ?
Will you get in the wheelbarrow and go with him?

Trust God to wheelbarrow you through the tightrope of life.

Guideline #2
And lean not on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5b

Don’t depend on yourself to figure things out for your life; depend on God to guide you.
God is in position to see more than we can.
He can see the whole picture. Trust Him.

Image you are lost in the forest, but you make connection with a helicopter pilot through your cell phone. Are you going to listen to the helicopter pilot who can see the way out from above
to guide you out or go your own way?

Lean on God to show you the way. We learn God’s way from reading the Bible.

God’s Word is a lamp to our feet
and a light to our path.
Psalm 119:11

Read Luke to get to know Jesus. Short books of the Bible good to read.
They are little books, but have a big message.
Try reading Ephesians, Colossians, Philippians, James, 1 Thessalonians.
The Bible book of wisdom is Proverbs.
Youversion, the Bible App, (iPhone or Android) is a great way to get into the Bible.
If you get into God’s Word, God’s Word will get into you.
What would this world be like if everyone followed the Bible? It would be heaven on earth.

Guideline #3
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
Proverbs 3:6a

Don’t ignore God, but look to Him in everything you do.
As you drive through town, are you going to ignore the traffic lights, road signs, speed limit,
or acknowledge and follow them?

To successfully get where you are going in life, acknowledge
and follow God every step of the way.

The Resulting Promise:
And He will direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:6b

God created us and loves us. He knows what is best for us.
He wants to lead us to a good, blessed life. It’s our choice whether we follow Him.

A good tour guide will never mislead you, but instead guide you along the way,
explain all the attractions, and point out any pitfalls.

Let God be your tour guide through life.
