DAILY WORD – FRIDAY 5 JUNE 2009 

SINCE THE LORD IS DIRECTING OUR STEPS, WHY TRY TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS ALONG THE WAY? PROVERBS 20:24 --- (LIVING TRANSLATION) 

So often, the need to know the reason for everything keeps us tied to our past, especially our past mistakes. How many times don’t we replay an event or conversation wishing we could change the outcome, and yet we are told in the Word of God that all things work for our good when we love God and desire to walk in His ways. This mental re-hashing robs us of Gods rest, and effectively traps us in the past, preventing us from moving into Gods destiny. The rest we need, is in knowing that our God is directing our steps, and yes sometimes He brings us back to the same crossroads because we made the wrong choice the first time round; but that’s the point He brings us back, He directs our steps. Wow! I wish I had understood this truth years ago. It would have saved me much wasted time agonizing at the fact that I had gone in a complete circle. Instead, I would have rested in the knowledge that God in His infinite wisdom and mercy was giving me another chance to get it right. 

Stay fervently focused

Much love
