“The LORD had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you.” Genesis 12:1 NLT
“Where are you going?!”
Often I cannot predict where Famous wants to go. He knows. He knows to follow his nose. The scents available to his large olfactory nerves are compensation for the smaller spectrum of light available to his eyes. But to see him zig-zag across the street, double back, and sometimes bee-line towards a shrub or tree can keep me on my guard. I have destinations in mind and an ultimate return to our home. But he goes where he wants unless I have to persuade him to alter his path.
I can only imagine, were He not omniscient, that God would ask of us, “Where are you going?” Do we not understand that He has chosen a path for us, a path of eternal life and delivery from sin? Why then do we follow our own desires, lusts, and greed?
In our devotional path through Lent, we need to listen to God’s voice. Only He can deliver us to the promise of eternal life which Easter will soon celebrate!
O God, help me to deny my weaknesses and follow Your direction today.
