When God wants to teach us something new about Him, about
life, about heaven, He stops us in our tracks, He works through a crisis, He
opens our eyes in a new way. As my husband and I learned on our trip, a detour
can bring new insight, new perspective, spectacular views.
To press the point
this week, we were looking for a walking trail in the city in which we live. We
turned onto the wrong road and a huge buck walked merrily in front of us! Another wrong turn, another miraculous
sighting. Moving on, we found the nature center and took several paths winding
through lakes and wooded areas. Trying to find our way back, took us onto
another wrong path. And about ten feet in front of us, stood a wild turkey! I
had never been quite that close and was amazed at the size of it.
Don’t be afraid of
making a wrong turn or finding a detour or a roadblock in your way. God may be
leading you to a new path with amazing views, teaching you a deep truth along
the way. The best decision, and often the most difficult, is to trust God when
you can’t find the road in front of you. Trust Him with your life today. That
trust brings freedom, peace and hope.
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 your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5=6
Jesus,
You understand the path ahead more than we do. We acknowledge You
today as we make our decisions, as we choose the next path to take, as we
decide to hope and trust in You.
Amen
