We cannot choose the right path of life with our knowledge and intelligence. To find the right path of life, we need to follow God’s guidance and wisdom.
The Lord Jesus said, “I am the way.” That is, if we want to have life, we absolutely need to follow Jesus’ teachings. In the Old Testament, we see that God called Abraham and promised to make him the father of many nations. Abraham also followed God’s guidance and found the path of life.
God has mentioned our right path in His Holy Word. If we regularly meditate on that word and establish a relationship with God in prayer, then we will definitely find the right path of life.
Although we will be disappointed many times while walking in this world, we need to remember that the path shown by God will brighten our lives.
