Read the first six lines of "The Road Not Taken," a poem by Robert Frost:

Two roads divergent in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair.

Have you ever faced this type of a dilemma in your personal decisions and been confronted with two or more competing choices? In this kind of situation, how do any of us choose the right path?

Here is the Bible's answer: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in ALL your ways acknowledge Him, and He WILL MAKE your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5-6

Think about it: when you are faced with a difficult choice in life, what are some of the things you think first in order to make that decision? Is the first question in your mind: How will this reflect on (or impact) God?

Read the end of "The Road Not Taken":

Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads divergent in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

Is there a choice you've made in your life that you wish you could take back? How would you choose differently?
