We know God directs our paths through His providential guidance and the testimony of His word.
God's direction in our lives can be seen through both His providence and the guidance provided in Scripture. The narrative of Ruth exemplifies God's sovereign guidance; Ruth was led to glean in Boaz's field, which was no accident but part of God's divine plan. Proverbs 3:5-6 advises us to trust in the Lord with all our heart and not lean on our understanding; in all our ways, if we acknowledge Him, He will direct our paths. This assurance gives Christians confidence that, in alignment with God's word and through prayer, the Lord is actively involved in steering our decisions and paths to fulfill His purposes for us.
