"Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me." -Psalm 119:133 (NIV)
Several years ago I chaperoned a field trip. While the destination was 15 minutes from school, the bus driver took a convoluted route that ended up taking nearly double the time to get there. Even though technology can provide the shortest route to a destination, we have to be willing to pay attention, to listen and follow the directions, in order to get where we are going. The same is true for our spiritual journeys!
As we grow and travel through life, we have different experiences. Our journeys are our own, unique paths to follow. While we have choice in the directions we take, the best paths are those provided by God. We can choose to take the long, round about way to get to our destinations or we can talk to God and listen to the directions He provides. We can avoid temptation and resist sin whenever we allow God to direct our feet, to clear our path, and to guide us to our destination. After talking to God and listening to Him, we can trust the directions that He will always provide!
Ask God for directions and then follow His plan for your life!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the direction that You provide in my life. Help me to listen to Your plans and to follow the paths that You place before me. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
