He is The One we follow

God always directs our steps
when He is The One we follow

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes.” – Proverbs 3:5-7a

We plan
We think the course is set
And then,
there is a change
and dismay strikes

But, God is still in control
God still directs our steps
He instructs us to be
watchful and waiting,
ready
alert to His call
to be about Him
and He will bring prosperity
doing the work of the Father

We must Trust Him

A new plan unfolds
We think the direction clear
but the road is muddied
and we cannot see the outcome

Do we settle for less?
Do we become downhearted
and disenchanted?

or
Do we pray
asking God to provide opportunities
to serve Him

Are we thankful
praising God for the opportunities
already come
and those yet to come

Do we acknowledge
trusting in God in all ways and all times,
not hindering His divine plan
because of our own
poor choices and decisions

Do we believe
in God’s power, His timing, His goodness, His mercy
In ALL He is, all we cannot comprehend,
yet know in our hearts to be true

God always directs our steps
when He is The One we follow.

“Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles; They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” – Isaiah 40:31
