“O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that
walketh to direct his steps.” Jere 10:23
God’s ability to direct
our lives is far superior to our own.
While most people would like to know the future; decisions
would be easier, failures would be avoided, and successes would be assured. The
people of Judah wanted to know the future, too, and they tried to discern it
through reading the signs in the sky. God made the earth and the heavens,
including stars that people consult and worship (vs 12). No
one will discover the future in man-made charts of God's stars. But God, who
promises to guide you, knows your future and will be with you all the way. He
will not reveal your future to you, but he will walk with you as the future
unfolds. Don't trust the stars or man’s efforts to
determine them and God’s will; trust the one who made the stars. True, you can’t change your destination overnight, but you can change
your direction. All it requires is taking “one” step towards God (Jm 4:8).
You can’t change the
direction of the wind, but you can adjust your sails to reach God’s
destination.
HSAY… Todd
