Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Dear friend,
It's quite easy to lead ourselves astray. From our narrow vantage point things often times seem so clear; we believe without a doubt that we're correct and on the right path. We let our emotions determine the choices we make and let our feelings take the wheel. Neither are reliable and steadfast.
I'm reminded of a parade. We're at the street level walking alongside a float enjoying the experience. We only see those things directly around us in any given direction. We're having a great time unaware of any trouble that lies ahead. From God's perspective, higher than the skyscrapers, He can see everything in every direction. He sees holes in the roads ahead and knows when we need to make a detour. He knows the best route to keep us safe, all we need to do is to seek Him to find it!
Our vision in life is limited by our simple and short-sighted understanding. It's best to put our trust in a true compass, one that won't fail us. God. He sees all and knows all. We simply need to make Him the priority in all we do and He will guide our paths. He has the best vantage point into each of our lives and can see clearly the best direction for us to take.
Happy Friday!
In Christ,
-Robert
