"In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9 (NIV)
Have you ever felt like you were walking in obedience to God and somehow your feet just got knocked out from under you? It seemed that He had led you in a certain direction and then things just went kerplooey?Even when we are seeking Him at every turn...feeling like we're sure of His leading...sometimes the road just doesn't lead to the place we thought we were headed.
What do we do then??? We have to trust. We must believe that He is sovereign. We must cling to the fact that He sees the "big picture"...and that He is the God of the "big picture"!!
We might need to crawl up in His lap...that of our Abba...our Father and allow Him to comfort and reassure us. He surely allows us to have a good cry if we need it. And then we need to hand it over to Him...and to "Trust in the LORD with all [our] heart and lean not on [our] own understanding; in all [our] ways acknowledge Him, and He will make [our] paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
Lord, we trust You...even when we don't understand the paths we must walk sometimes. "[We] do believe; help [us] overcome [our]unbelief!" (Mark 9:24) We acknowledge You...as our Father...our Shepherd...our guide...the One who loves us unfailingly. Show us Your way. Help us to follow willingly. We love you.
