Day 149 of Photo Inspirations — I Need Directions To………
A few days ago, as my friends and I had our morning walk, we were talking about prayer and if we have an awareness of “God With Us” wherever we go, and whatever we are doing, then we don’t have to be in a certain posture or location to pray. We’ll just be communicating with Him as we would with a friend with us in the car, or, in our case, our walking friends where we chat together along the way. We quoted the scripture in Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. IN ALL YOUR WAYS, acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.” How awesome is that?
Having a little conversation with Him Who knows everything about everything — provides DIRECTIONS — when and to where we want to go. That’s HUGE when we consider those who refuse to ask for directions — men AND women. They’ll go around the same block or same area of town over and over again, before they’re willing to ask directions. But, in this case…..if we just have a little one-on-one with Him Who is the Supreme KNOW-IT-ALL — He WILL direct our paths and we’ll get to our destination in record time. That’s what I call expert advice!
After our walk, I headed over to my cousin’s home where the estate sale people are getting it ready for their sale this weekend. I looked around to see if I could find a keepsake that represented my sweet cousin and her husband. As I ventured through the house, lo and behold — I saw this picture on the wall. Of course, I wanted that picture — not only did I feel “directed” to it, but that “Word” is now indelibly imprinted in my mind and heart. Twice in one day, God was speaking to me. And, now it has a place in my home that I see it everyday as a constant reminder of God’s presence with me.
Perhaps you’re looking for direction on decisons that you are having to make today. Maybe, just maybe, this “Word” is your “Word” too. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In ALL YOUR WAYS , (while driving in your car, washing dishes, mowing the lawn, standing in line at a store, putting on your make-up, etc.), acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.”
