God desires that we be consumed with Him and doing His will yet He knows our frame and our weaknesses. As we embrace His will for our lives we will without a doubt have a desire to do that which is right in His eyes. Yes, there will be days that we mess up but He well knows that we are human and we will make mistakes. We must remind ourselves that His forgiveness is there for us and He promises to walk along side of us and show us the right way. Not only does He show us the way, but He enables us to walk the path.
Psalm 23:3 (VOICE)
“He makes me whole again,
steering me off worn, hard paths
to roads where truth and righteousness echo His name.”
Sheep have a tendency to want to walk the same paths to the point they are in ruts. Because a sheep stays in a favored spot, they wear it down, and it becomes barren. These type areas can tend to become infested with parasites which are very dangerous to the health of sheep. We too can tend as humans to desire a comfort zone. We can tend to fall into ruts with our thinking and behavior. These things can keep us from walking in the freshness of His will for our life.
Today, let us remind ourselves to look to Him for direction in every area of our life. As we do, our lives will be a testimony as it echoes and honors His Name!
