Detours and Roadblocks


      The roadblocks in our lives can keep us from God. When we doubt, or are faced with grief or fear, wondering how to go on, we can lose sight of Him. Jesus never leaves us, but when we are stuck in a tough place, it can be difficult to feel His presence, to reach out and let Him lead.

     The Scriptures remind us time and time again, to focus on things above, to see with spiritual eyes, to recognize the brief span of our days and to trust in our Most-High God. He knows right where we are, and He is always one step ahead of us, figuring out where to place our feet for the next part of the journey. Is it time to wait patiently, for Him, to look up with a new perspective?

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, “This is the way. Walk in it.” Isaiah 30:21

     When faced with a roadblock, we may take a wrong turn and have to back track or begin again. Turn back to Jesus, again and again. If we listen, He has a plan. Listen for His voice today and trust Him. He is right there next to you, no matter which way you turn.

Jesus,

We fix our eyes on You when nothing makes sense, when we hit a stumbling block, when we don’t know which way to go next. You understand.  Let Your voice be heard in the midst of it all.

Amen
