The Principle of the Path by Andy Stanley

The principle of the path simply put is to select the right one. As Andy Stanley points out in his new book, The Principle of the Path, life is about a series of proverbial forks-in-the-road. Which direction will you head? How do you determine if you are on the right path? Look at your past. “What is so obvious to those watching, often escapes us.” Each choice made is another step on the path of life and “direction determines destination.” Is there a discrepancy between what you desire in your heart and what you are doing with your life? The answer will reveal if you are on the right path. “Intentions are of little consequence, direction is everything.” We need to carefully analyze the path options offered in life and not simply take the path of least resistance. If you are inclined to always be right, your decision making ability will always be limited. “Choosing the right path begins with submission.” Take note that happiness now and happiness later may point in totally different directions. As Andy Stanley depicts in his book, God will make the best path obvious, if we trust will all our hearts, refuse to lean on our limited understanding, and submit every aspect of our lives to Him.
