God Leads. I Follow.
You will seek me and fine me when you seek me with all your heart. -- Jeremiah 29:13
Sometimes truth just sort of smacks you on the head and makes you wonder why it took so long to figure it all out. It's simplicity is so amazing that you can't believe you missed it. That's what focusing on self does for you.
I'm in the middle of a bible study titled Breaking Free. Those who have done Beth Moore studies know that she's all about truth, even when it hurts. Or, maybe, especially when it hurts. This study is leading us to heal past hurts and break away from destructive patterns. Like believing lies and trying to do life all on our own.
I daily beg God to walk with me. I want Him to guide me -- where I want to go. I ask for His blessing on my path. Do you see a pattern here? Do you see anything wrong with this pattern? Yep. That's right. It's all about me. It's all about what I want. It's all about my will. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
My life is not about me. And I'll never be truly happy until I make it all about Him. It's not about Him walking with me. It's about me walking with Him. Like a little child who grabs hold of her parent's hand and happily goes wherever He leads. That's what He wants us to do. That's where we'll find our true blessings -- in the Presence of the Almighty.
So today I'm asking God to let me walk with Him. I'm asking Him to hold tightly to my hand so I can't wander off and get lost. I'm asking Him to bless this path we're on and to light my way. I want to travel this earth with Him, safe and secure in the knowledge that He leads the way.
