Wrong Turn

"I pondered the direction of my life, and I turned to follow your statutes" (Psalm 119:59 NLT).

Have you ever driven down a road and realized you were lost, completely missed your road, and you feel hopeless, because you are not sure how to get back to where you need to go? It makes common sense if you have any church background that you are to follow God. But sometimes, we allow ourselves to get off the right path and begin following a road that leads us to no where. Ever been down that road before? Believe me, I have taken that road so many times, I know it backwards and forwards, every bump and turn and hate it when I go there. I am miserable there. Why is it that something so simple as following Christ for direction in our lives, can be so hard at times? I think the world offers up such enticing pleasures that we can get sucked in and trapped and miss the flashing lights that say this way to Peace and true happiness!!!!! That is what has happened to me more times than I can count. Today, this is my prayer... "Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul" (Psalm 143:8). I want to follow Christ. I want to know the direction He would have me go. I want to feel the Peace that passes all understanding to know which direction I should take, without winding up having to endure the bumps, and turns that lead to the feeling of being lost and without hope. I pray that we all can find the true place God would lead us... In Jesus Name.. Amen
