Follow the Path

Psalm 32:8-11

8 The LORD says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.
9 Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control."

10 Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the LORD.
11 So rejoice in the LORD and be glad, all you who obey him! Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure! NLT


Stop being stubborn. Stop being rebellious. Stop being fearful. Stop allowing doubt to creep in. You do not need a bridle or bit to help force you to go in the right direction. Make up your mind today to trust God. Even when you are in the midst of unrest you can expect God to guide you on the best path for your life.

If you choose to trust in your own way, your own reasoning, or your own plans, you will open the door for sorrows and disappointments. Things may go well for a season, but leaving God’s direction out of your life will not lead to that good and expected end that we read about in Jeremiah 29:11. Choose to be surrounded in, cloaked in, comforted, and protected by the unfailing love that on the Lord can give us. Rejoice as you choose to obey the directions He gives for your life. Be glad, shout the victory, and start walking the path He has laid out for you.


Prayer: “Father, I choose today to listen and obey the direction you have for my life. Thank you for the peace that surrounds me as I walk the path you have laid out for me. Amen”
