DESCRIPTION
Crossroads of Life “Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day.” (Psalm 25:4-5) Psalm 25:4,5: God’s way should always be the way we desire more than any other. Do we wait on God to lead us, or do we force the issue and choose the path we want, instead of the one God directs through His word?
