 Psalms 25:4-12 NLT

 

4 Show me the right path, O Lord;
    point out the road for me to follow.

5 Lead me by your truth and teach me,
    for you are the God who saves me.
    All day long I put my hope in you.

6 Remember, O Lord, your compassion and unfailing love,
    which you have shown from long ages past.

7 Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth.
    Remember me in the light of your unfailing love,
    for you are merciful, O Lord.

8 The Lord is good and does what is right;
    he shows the proper path to those who go astray.

9 He leads the humble in doing right,
    teaching them his way.

10 The Lord leads with unfailing love and faithfulness
    all who keep his covenant and obey his demands.

11 For the honor of your name, O Lord,
    forgive my many, many sins.

12 Who are those who fear the Lord?
    He will show them the path they should choose.

 

There are enough twists and turns in this life that we are all in need of a well-marked pathway.  Humans are funny. Some people stumble and stagger through their days. Other folks think of themselves as skilled pathfinders and plan every step miles in advance. Both lifestyles yield the same result. They will encounter roadblocks. Those who are lost…well, unless they receive help, they will stay lost. Those who think they have it all figured out will eventually realize how easy it is to miss your turn and will find themselves on an unwanted detour. 

 

Every single one of us needs AAA - that’s the Amazing Almighty’s Advice. God can help you build an infrastructure that will carry you to that “proper path.” No matter how far astray you may have wandered, God is waiting to show you the way to go. It is all in the Book…something to pray about.

 

Don’t forget to look for the Lord today. Vicki H
