Often times
we think we have life figured out, and try to go our own way through life
without seeking God's plan for our lives. But why? Why do we try and make our
own way when we have someone who makes our paths straight? Time after time in
the Bible, God talks about how he knows the plans he has for us and making our
paths straight. Proverbs 3:6 says "In all your ways submit to him, and he
will make your paths straight." Isaiah 58:11 says "The Lord will guide you
always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen
your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters
never fail." I could tell you verse after verse, but that could do nothing
for you. I just want to let you know that God is good always, and his grace is
sufficient always (2 Corinthians 12:9). So knowing these things, why do we
continuously try and make our paths straight on our own? We have a wonderful
Savior who has our best interest always. He knows what he is doing. We are just
living in his world. We are here to serve the purpose he has set out for us. So
we should seek that purpose and pray through this crazy thing called life.
After all, we are not our own (1 Corinthians 6:19). So let's seek his purpose
daily, and pray without ceasing. He is good.
