Allow Him to direct

There is no doubt some things going on in our world and societies that is really troubling. You don't have to look too hard or listen too well to know that we are a nation that seems to be pulling further and further away from GOD. I am not judging anyone, we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of GOD.

I admit that I have had times in my life that I have chosen to "take my own path", which was filled with potholes and troubles and problems, but, it seemed to be the right thing to do. I have taken those paths without praying about it, without seeking GOD'S will, without asking GOD what He would have me to do. Been there?

Today's word is Proverbs 14:12, NIV, which reads, "There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death."

I have chosen my own path countless times because it appeared the right thing to do. I have chosen to use my own opinion, my own wisdom, my own evaluation rather than seek wise counsel, especially the wisdom and counsel of GOD. While the decision I made seemed right to me at the time, it ended up being an absolute and total failure.

We will all find ourselves in the midst of decisions on a daily basis. We can rely on our own personal, limited wisdom and knowledge and take paths that will end in trouble. Or, we can seek GOD and allow Him to direct us. 

Be Blessed,
