I will
instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you
with My eye.
Psalm 32:8
One moment we can be extremely excited about what God is doing in our
lives and the next find our joy suddenly shattered, when the path we
have been happily following, appears to be taking a wrong turn, away
from our destination. We set ourselves up for disappointment, when we
take our eyes off Jesus. It doesn't matter what the path may look like,
or where it is leading us, if we trust in our guide, we can know that we
will safely reach our destination. He leads us the perfect way and at
the perfect time. If we begin looking to find our own way, we are
setting ourselves up for disappointment, which will take us where we
don't want or need to go. We are His treasure and He will never leave us
stranded or unattended. If we find ourselves getting ahead of God and on
the wrong path, we need only to turn around and return to our guide.
There is nothing good He will keep from us.
Prayer
I choose to follow You. Help me to remain focused on You and not all the
obstacles along the path. You are my trusted guide and I know that You
will not keep anything that is truly good from me. Wherever You lead me
I am willing to go. Thank You for your constant care. Amen.
