Decisions in the past affect the future. The way forward is not by running faster or running in the same direction. Sometimes we have to go back to the place where we left God and see what we missed. What did we drop along the way? The only way to move forward is to go back and see what we missed.

Talk to your elders about the things of life. They will share things with you that ChatGPT will not. A road that is new and crowded can still lead you to death. If everyone is doing something, analyze it to make sure it is of God.

Making the wrong decision at a crossroads can have short- and long-term consequences. God gives us counsel and urges us to follow His path. He provided the tribe of Judah with this type of information when they were in exile. He also provided the consequences of their decision. God helps us to avoid the pitfalls.

Choose life by making quality decisions. God will not force you to make the right decision. Choose the good path.
