Something that leads you to where you want to go. Right? I mean, if you follow it, it will lead you to exactly where you want to go. I think that is a tendency in life. Following
the path. A path that you chose for yourself; maybe a path that
someone else chose for you. Maybe it is a path that you
chose with someone.
A lot of the time it can be really hard to step off of the path. I think that
sometimes we just have this picture of where we are trying to get to and we think
that the only way to get there is to stay on the path. We can't explore or take any chances
because we might end up lost. We might not be able to find our way back to
that path.
What is so wrong with not finding that path again? I think
that we are under the impression that once we get off the path it
means that we will never find our way to where the path is supposed to get us. What if we
don't reach where we were trying to go? What if we can't get there? What if taking
a step off the path, one that we know will take us there, means that we will
NEVER get to where we want to go?
Something that I am learning is that we will get to where we want to go
no matter what, as long as we trust in God that he will get
us to where we want to go. Sometimes you have to have enough
faith to get off the path. Getting off that path could be a way of
showing faith in God. A way of showing that we have enough faith
to leave our way and take the way that God wants us to go.
Deuteronomy 1:29-31
"Then I said to you, 'Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them. The Lord your God, who
is going before you will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before
your very eyes, and in the desert. There you saw how the Lord your God carried
you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went
until you reached this place.'"
Isn't that so amazing? I just picture this father carrying his son to bed after he fell asleep watching Veggie Tales on the couch. And once the son is in bed he can just sleep comfortably and peacefully. That is what God does for us. He will take us to somewhere where we can be comfortable and at peace.
I am not saying that it is always going to be as easy as being carried to bed like a little boy, but we can be sure that God will be with us every step of the way. He will go before us and make sure that we are safe. So don't worry if you need to take a couple of steps off the path to get around something, or maybe you need to make a completely new path. God is with you...ALL the time. :) He is guiding us in every step that we take.
Trust in Him.
