Choosing Correctly

I am in a period of my life where I have to make some decisions that will affect my future. And more than anything else, I want to choose correctly. I want to make the right decisions. But what does that even mean? Have you ever been in a similar situation? A situation where you had to make an important decision? How did you choose correctly?  

I have read about the Israelites who wandered around in the desert, and Exodus 13 explains how God led them by a pillar of cloud during the day and a pillar of fire during the night. They always knew when and where to go. When I read the story about the Israelites, I became a little bit jealous, because I wish I had been given a pillar of cloud too. It must have been so much easier for the Israelites to make the right decisions when they had somebody to guide them through their lives.  

However, then I realized that I have been given the same privilege as the Israelites. I might not have a physical pillar of cloud, but I have direct access to God. When Christ died on the cross, the veil was torn and there is nothing that separates us from a personal relationship with the Creator.

On the other hand, I think the real problem is that I forget to take advantage of the privilege I have been given. I try to choose correctly and make the right decisions, but sometimes I forget to ask God what He wants me to do. I think the key to making the right decisions is to ask God what he wants us to do and wait for His reply.
