It’s Black Friday, When Have you been grabbed by the Deal?
Morning Devotional:
It really was the best way to go. It was one of the last good hikes of the fall. I decided to explore a trail I hadn’t been on in a couple of years. At first, it was smooth and enjoyable, but soon, I came to a steep drop-off. The path was so narrow that I doubted whether it was even the right trail. Memories of this section came flooding back—it was crazy steep the last time too.
Standing there, I had a choice to make. I could backtrack, which would take a long time, or I could trust my memory, forge ahead, and see it through.
Life often presents us with similar decisions. We find ourselves at a crossroads, unsure if we’re on the right path, and it’s tempting to turn back. But when we trust the guidance we’ve been given—whether it’s a map, a memory, or God’s Word—we discover that moving forward often leads to the greatest rewards.
Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
The steep path may not be easy, but when we trust the Lord, He directs our steps. Sometimes, the best way to go is forward, relying on His wisdom and strength to see us through. What path is God calling you to trust Him with today?
