Psalm 16:8 (KJV)
“I have set the Lord always before me:
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.”
I can remember photographing a few weddings and their location was an area that I never traveled before. I was always ever so thankful for my GPS because as long as I stayed on it’s path I eventually got there. I have to say that my GPS never let me down. There were times it seemed to direct me in a round about way but I had no choice but to follow it.
Many times in life you may need direction. As we keep the Lord before us He has promised to get us there safely. He promises to show us His wisdom. That direction may come from His Word or a wise person He has placed in your life. There are so many ways He comes along side of us when we do not know how to get where we need to be. As we stay aware of His presence in the journey we can trust Him, He is well able to get us there safely. Trusting Him in the journey is so vitally important because He may just take you a different direction than what you expected. I believe those are the times that we get an even greater revelation of “all things work together for the good to Him that loves God.”
I can remember leaving a wedding one cold, rainy and very foggy night. I was so glad that I had the GPS to get me home. I have to tell you though that I was tempted to be shaken many times as I heeded to how it was telling me to get home. You see, it was taking me home a totally different way than I came. It made no sense and there were some frightening moments for me being alone on roads I never traveled. Eventually I came to a place where I could leave out a sigh of relief that I knew where I was. Many times our spiritual journeys can be like this as well. Jesus will never fail us…He promised that. Know that He will always get us to our destination in His time by His direction. God bless you.
