As I walk with Him I have learned more and more how fine tuned things need to be within my heart. Each day our lives can present things that can tend to distract us and pull us out of focusing on what is really important. The other day I was listening to a worship song on the radio as I was driving. The song was crystal clear and it was touching my heart. I slowed up to come to a stop at a stop sign and and out of no where a whole other station came on and it was garbled and loud. I had touched no knobs, all I did was slow up. I moved closer into the stop sign by a few feet and the worship song came back and it was crystal clear.
I was prompted to think about how this is very much an analogy of our walk with Him at times. We can be walking in His will and then all of a sudden something changes. Things can seem garbled and confusion tries to invade the peace in our heart. The temptation to be wonder if we did something wrong could be our first thought. You see, just because things change all of a sudden or things become foggy does not necessarily mean we are off the right path. This may merely mean we need to move ahead or step back or just stand still for awhile. Next time things switch up on you and all seems to be going different than what you expected, stop and wait to hear His voice.
It is a beautiful thing to know that God has promised to lead us and guide us into all truth. With saying that we have the responsibility of staying keen to His voice and His leading. I do not believe walking and knowing His will is to be a mystery to us but rather we can have crystal clear understanding every step we take.
