Concerning the works of men, by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent (the paths of the destroyer). My steps have held closely to Your paths [to the tracks of the One Who has gone on before]; my feet have not slipped. Psalm 17:4-5 AMPC
Have you made God your personal quest? King David did. He rejected conventional adventure and accepted one that was born in his soul. David was bold in his declaration, courageous in his pursuit, and confident in his Guide.
It’s easy to second-guess God because He does things differently than you do. And because you don’t always understand what He’s doing, it can mean the application of internal brakes, the halting of what you should do, and a hesitancy of the heart that leaves blessings delayed.
Never let conventional wisdom stand in the way of God’s plans. Follow hard after a good God. Exercise spiritual mobility, and use the Bible, which is God’s life GPS.
Giving up is never your best option unless it’s giving up on doing things your own way. God’s plan for you is simple, even when you think it’s complex. He knows where you need to go and what you need to do, so it’s simple—just follow Him. Or you could make things complex and second-guess or resist His guidance.
Prayer: Lord, remembering that You know what You’re doing is important. I don’t want to take more steps using only my own wisdom and miss the adventure You’ve planned for me.
