Proverbs: Everyday Guidance for Making Everyday Decisions
A seven-week study, starting May 27 in the free First 5 mobile app
Why won’t God just tell me what to do?
Life is full of choices. Some can drastically alter the course of our lives, and others affect our days in smaller ways.

In these scriptures, we get to see real-life examples of what it looks like to live in a way that honors Him. And we get to release ourselves from the pressure that comes with making decisions — by realizing He is still the One who is in control of the outcomes.
