Walk with God
Walking with God requires walking along paths of trust. The most direct route between point A and point B on your life-journey is the path of unwavering trust in God.
Easier said than done sometimes, I completely understand.
When our faith falters, we tend to pick a path that meanders and takes us well out of our original intended way. Sure, we’ll get to point B eventually if it is in God’s will, but we’ll be taking a detour. Time and energy will be spent on such a detour. (Though God can restore and redeem such things but that’s for another post.)
As soon as we realize we have wandered from our trust, we need to look back to God and declare we trust Him. Even if it’s only spoken as a whisper, turning back to Him and actively choosing to trust Him is one of the best things we can do.
Because the farther we roam from trusting God, the harder it will be to come back to trusting. The harder it will be to remember that God is with us and for us. Anxious thoughts branch off in all sorts of directions, taking us farther and farther away from the awareness of God’s presence in our lives.
Today and everyday day, let us actively choose to trust God. Let us voice our trust in Him frequently. Let us actively remind ourselves God is with us, God is for us, and God is worthy of our trust.
Those who know Your name will trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You. - Psalm 9:10
Show me Your ways, O Lord, teach me Your paths; guide me in Your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. - Psalm 25:4-5
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. - Proverbs 3:5-6
