"You
chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you
know where I am."
Psalm
139:3
Thoughts~
“Okay,
we are officially lost” I told my friend as we traveled around and around in
the city of Madrid, Spain. Everything looked the same to me and I had jet lag
in a bad way. Being foreigners in a strange city is tough and neither of us
spoke Spanish well so we felt hopelessly inadequate to find our way to our
hotel. Once we did, there was construction going on and we could not figure out
where to park. Frustration led to more frustration and we ended up leaving
Madrid and went to the next town where we stayed for two days, recovering from
our flight and frustration.
With God, I never have to worry about being lost. He
always knows the best way for me and as I put my trust in Him, He will also
lead the way, charting an amazing journey for me. Because we humans are not
puppets, I have the free will option: to listen and follow God’s lead or to go
at it on our own. After many attempts over the years of trying to plan out my
own route, even as a believer, I now KNOW that the best way to travel through
life is with God directing me. I choose His lead ad He never ever lets me down.
In the verse the Psalmist says “Every moment you know where I am." I love this truth
and rejoice that God always knows where I am, so I can’t ever really be lost.
Also, because He knows where I am, I am motivated to be
in places He would want to be in. In today’s culture around the world, many
people who claim to be Christians have given up their desire to please God
fully. They have introduced other things into their lives like horoscopes, new
age beliefs, getting drunk, immorality, drugs, stealing, and the list goes on.
God knows exactly what each one of us is doing and exactly where we are. Do we please
Him with our choices?
Action~
Where
are you that you don’t want God to be?
Does your Facebook page show that you love God but also
that you are living a lifestyle that a Christ follower shouldn’t be living? Do
you glorify God in all you say and do? Do people see your profile and see a
person who loves Jesus?
Christians should have fun; we should be joyful and
happy. We love and serve a God who created laughter and smiles! But there are
places for us that we need to abandon and move into the light, allowing God to
show us the way, our path to a completely wonderful relationship with Him.
Pray~
Thank
You, Father, for having the very best directions for my life.
Trusting in the Lord,
Becky
