In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.–Proverbs 16:9 (NIV)
Maps were a mystery to me. After all, I didn’t need to use one in the small farm town where I grew up. But, Seattle was different. Unfamiliar bridges, detours, and people who attended the Move-It-or-Lose-It-School of-Driving seemed to dot every hill, loop, and crossing. I was directionally challenged and didn’t know where I was headed.
Have you been in a similar situation? Do you ever find yourself thinking, Where are you taking me, Lord? I didn’t anticipate this bend in the road.
He may lead you through unexpected terrain. In a different direction. Even to a place with a completely different view.
To get to the place you need to be, ask Him for direction. You’ll never be lost when He’s behind the wheel.
Just for Today: Ask Him to lead you–toward growth, forgiveness, becoming.
