Are You Seeking God’s Direction For Some Decision? Scott Pauley

At every stage on the journey we face crossroads – choices that will have long-lasting effects on both ourselves and others. Direction determines destination. There is never a day that we do not need God’s wisdom and never a season of life that we can afford to make decisions on our own.

Week after week I meet people in every place where I travel who are trying to find the Lord’s will. What should I do? Who should I marry? Where should I go to college? How should I deal with this problem? When will the time be right to make a move?

Perhaps the greater question, the question that helps to answer all of the others, is: How do I find God’s mind on my situation?

To find God’s will is the first step in following it. From experience I know that one of the greatest struggles of sincere Christians is to discern what is the Lord and what is not.

This Monday we begin a brand new 6 week podcast series on Enjoying The Journey. I am praying that the Lord will use it to help many people who are seeking God’s direction for some decision. Our study will be in two parts:

  • Which Way Do I Go?

The first three weeks we will examine the Scriptures for Bible principles that must be followed as we pursue the will of God. From examples in both the Old and New Testaments the Holy Spirit plainly gives us a pattern to follow. No one can tell you all the will of God for your life but the Bible will tell you how to find it!

  • Psalms For The Traveler

The second half of our study will walk us through the Psalms that are commonly known as “the pilgrim psalms.” These psalms progressively show us how to enter into the presence of God. In His presence everything becomes much clearer. Every step, every stage brings us closer to His purpose.

Regardless of who you are or where you are on the journey of life, we all need direction and encouragement along the way. I would like to invite you to join us for the next six weeks, Monday – Friday, for this ten minute daily broadcast. You may subscribe to the podcast or listen online at enjoyingthejourney.org/broadcast.

Let’s make this our prayer…

“Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies” (Psalm 27:11).

Putting Off and Putting On

We are releasing four volumes of devotional studies through the Psalms. I am grateful for the overwhelming reception to Roadmap for Life, Volume 1, which examined the Genesis Psalms (Psalms 1-41). Volume 2, the Exodus Psalms, is now available, and we trust it will be an aid to your study of Psalms 42- 72. Because of the devotional nature of these books, I am dedicating each to someone the Lord has used in my life to teach me more about private worship and personal devotion. This new volume is: Dedicated to Eustace Riggs

A Special Dedication

Zacharias and Elisabeth. Share it online, save it for later, or use it as a tool to teach these truths to others. © Enjoying the Journey 2026. Zacharias, as a priest, knew the Old Testament Scriptures well. He would have known Isaiah 40 and Malachi 4, which prophesied of his son’s ministry. He used the Word of God to instill eternal purpose in his boy. Early in the chapter, Zacharias questioned the angel with unbelief. But by the time John was born, Zacharias stood up and spoke in bold faith and praised God (Luke 1:68). Zacharias and Elisabeth likely died before John’s public ministry commenced, yet their influence lived on. John lived in the desert without them, but their instruction rang in his ears.

Social media engagement runs from completely passive to actively committed. That same spectrum is also useful for examining our walk with God. How Engaged Are You?
