Mary! It is so very good to see you posting here. You stay away much to much and I know that is because life is so busy, never the less, I am glad to hear your voice and this post is so very much on target! Amen and Amen Sister! ![[clap2]](graemlins/clap2.gif)
I am reminded of Abraham who was told to leave all and go to a place the Lord would tell him of, but he did not even know where that was when he was told to leave. Imagine if he had not obeyed! We have to be willing to walk behind him... not ahead or beside, but to FOLLOW HIM, even when the very next step is unkonown... we have to trust him moment by moment and FOLLOW in Faith.

Many times as we walk in the paths that we find before us. We seem to be searching for the light that will help us clearly see the way. We want a blazing sun to shine always on the path so that we can see miles ahead. The problem with that is that if we can see too far ahead we aren't as ready to trust the LORD JESUS. We don't hold to HIS hand and allow HIM to guide us. We have to remember that we are still children. I know that from teaching kindergarten children one of the hardest lessons to teach them is to wait on me and to follow instructions. We are the same way we want to be independent and run instead of following. We have something inside us that seems to say I can do this on my own. However, when we think this way that is the time we get in the most trouble. GOD needs to be directing our steps daily, hourly, and through every moment in time. Without HIS divine guidance we will find ourselves on the wrong path doing the wrong things. These things may not seem wrong but if the LORD JESUS is not directing them then even the best seemingly good things can be wrong. That is why in Romans Paul wrote that GOD can make good to come out of the situation we have created. It doesn't mean that all things will be good but that through these things we will be able to learn and grow and perhaps avoid those same pitfalls the next time they come our way. I hope that each of you will have a blessed day in our LORD and that this will help you see with spiritual eyes the path you are presently on.
