“Show me the right path, O LORD ; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.” Psalm 25:4-5 NLT
We say our hearts are in the right place and that we truly want God to direct us everyday. But do we honestly look and listen for his direction in even the smallest of decisions in our lives?
Today I reminded myself why I choose not to talk on the phone during my walks with Famous. We were headed out of the house on what I expected would be a long walk. I had accomplished several chores earlier and had neglected to return a phone call. I knew as soon as I placed the call it would be a mistake. The traffic was speeding by just feet away so it was difficult to hear the other party. And Famous, although a veteran on a leash, tends to start and stop as his nose dictates. The call ended, and I was relieved to be able to focus on anticipating his next move and navigating the sidewalks and crosswalks.
God does not want us to be distracted from his moving Spirit which daily guides our footsteps. Our goal should not be to focus on the task at hand but to discover how God is working in each of those tasks.
Teach me the truth that is the accomplishment of Your will and not my agenda.
