don't try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he's the one who will keep you on track.
Prov. 3:5-6 (message)
Figuring out life begins and ends with trusting God. Life is too long and way too complicated for me to figure it out on my own. I am naturally short-sighted and cannot see the big picture of life.
When I live by my own perspective, I will inevitably make a wrong decision at some point. Hence, the old saying that hindsight is 20/20. Even though these missteps and slip-ups can sometimes be overcome, at times that cannot, and at all times they slow us down.
God's path is not a natural path. Many times it does not make sense and sometimes it looks completely wrong. If I don't trust Him, I will not take the path He is laying out for me.
Today, I need to grow in my relationship with the Lord. I need to draw close to Him, get to know Him more, walk in the love relationship He has offered me. As I do that, my trust in Him will grow stronger... and as His path for me unfolds, I'll follow it without hesitation.
