Follow His Path

"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'" -- Isaiah 30:21

One of the great joys of walking with Christ, is knowing that He will guide you. One of the great frustrations is learning to drown out your thoughts so you can hear what He has to say.

I keep expecting that it will get easier with time. Maybe it does. I don't always agree with the path He has chosen for me. I am not a patient person. And I would truly love to avoid some of life's more painful lessons. But I've also come to realize that He does know best. There is safety and security in that.

Sometimes I think I hear Him chuckle when once again I'm moved to say, "You were right and I was wrong." I find that I worried needlessly. He did say He would take care of me. Just because I can't see it until it happens, doesn't mean He's forgotten. He's God. He doesn't forget.

So I focus on the path He has set out for me, knowng it is best. I'll be okay, no matter what, so long as I follow His path.
