“You will make known to me the way of life; in your presence is fullness of joy; in your right hand there are pleasures forever.”

—Psalm 16:11

How many of us agonize over what path to take in life? And not just once, but over and over.

But God assures us so many times of his guidance:

Ephesians 2:10 says, “We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.”

Isaiah 30:21 says, “Your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ whenever you turn to the right or to the left.”

Psalm 25:12 says, “He will instruct him in the way he should choose.”

Proverbs 3:5–6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”

Jeremiah 33:3 says, “Call to me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”

James 1:5 says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”

His way is perfect (Psalm 18:30) and leads to the fullness of joy—not just some joy, but its fullness.

He shows us the way of life; it’s in his presence, where, once we join him in eternity, we have pleasures forevermore.

We make it so complicated. We doubt him and stop seeking his presence. We start seeking other things, hurrying, scrambling, and worrying. We forfeit our direction and our joy.

Seek him first (Matthew 6:33); his way is sure and full of joy.
