Yesterday I saw a lady walking her dog. It appeared, at first, that there was nothing out of the ordinary going on. The lady was holding the leash and the dog was in front of her walking. He would get on the grass and she would guide him back to where he needed to stay, on the sidewalk.
As she walked by she said, oh he has no eyes.
The dog turned around and there were no eyes on the dog. The dog was walking like any other dog with eyes and from looking at them, I would not have known if she didn’t say something.
Why am I writing about this?
How many times those of us with eyes who can see walk in fear like we have no one leading and guiding us? That dog was walking in front of his owner like he could see where to go and many of us walk behind someone, with our heads looking down and the road, at our shoes and we have eyes. We look beyond the natural and come up with all the things that can happen if we take a step in the direction we are called to go toward and that path, that direction has already been cleared for us like a plane that’s ready to take off on the runway. God has already cleared that path for me and for you, yet we look at what could be instead of what is.
That dog was running in front of his owner knowing that she was there to lead and guide him and that she was not going to allow him to harm himself or anyone else. Why do we not think the same about God? Why do we think He is going to allow us to fail? To bump into someone else? To hurt ourselves? He called you to a good thing! He called you to an awesome calling and He anointed you for it! He did NOT make a mistake! He knows exactly who you are, including your past, and He called you while in your blindness. Your response is to continue to go in the direction, in the path you were called to do.
God sees all and knows all. Allow Him to lead and guide you.
Failure is not an option.
