The Pursuit of Happyness: He Will Direct Your Paths (Proverbs 3:5-6)
In The Pursuit of Happyness, Chris Gardner invests his last $250 in a bone density scanner—a gamble that leaves him homeless with his son. Everyone thinks he's foolish. But he sees a path no one else sees. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." Chris's path looked anything but straight—subway bathrooms, shelter lines, impossible odds. But he trusted the vision when evidence suggested failure. The straight path sometimes winds through valleys before reaching the summit.
