Thoughts for today:
It takes a lot of maturity to understand and follow the steps
that God orders for us.....don't let selfishness and immature
behaviors cause you to lose your step.......a missed step can
send us down an unpaved path......an unpaved path CAN
lead us back to where we were suppose to be going in the
first place, However.....it is quite possible that we may
encounter many sharp pebbles along the way.....?????
Oh well.....we all know how painful a sharp pebble can be
when it approaches the delicate skin on the bottom of our
foot/feet. It can be brutal and cause us pain for many
days ahead.
This is how I see the picture.......when I choose to take my
own path and I don't exactly follow the footsteps that God
has ordered for me. I can feel the pain and I experience
a bruised heart each time that I try to follow my own will.
When I seek God ........ and I ask HIM
to direct my steps.....then I know that I can rest assured that
I am heading in the direction that God has made for me...
Does this mean that I will never have problems or issues?
No....it does not! But...what I do know is that when I
follow the steps that God has chosen for me......I will find
comfort and Peace. I will be victorious!

Shug, you always provide inspiration for me and I thank you! God bless
ReplyDeleteWe are not promised an easy road-- but that He will make the burden we carry light. We still have to walk- don't we?
ReplyDeleteHe tells me-- THIS. Is my way ... Walk in it.
Praying for PEACE -- for you friend.
Always thank you for sharing what God gives!
Let's stay on the good path and avoid those sharp pebbles.
ReplyDeleteOh so true.

Well said Shug, thank you for this.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Great analogy with the sharp petals, Shug. Sometimes it's really hard to sort out just exactly what it is that God wants us to do, however. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteWell said.We are always better off to be where God wants us to be than on our own path.
ReplyDeleteOrder my steps in Your Word O Lord.....
ReplyDeleteA lovely devotion and so true. Thank You.
Hi Shug!
ReplyDeleteI really like this post! I've certainly stepped on a few sharp pebbles in my day! We truly do need to rely on the Lord, knowing that he is in control, but sometimes, those lessons we learn by stepping on sharp pebbles, can bring us right back to Him. So, I guess I'm kinda thankful for those sharp pebbles... :0)
Have a great week-end!
Hugs,
Barb
