Lead me the right path, O Lord, or my enemies will conquer me. Make your way plain for me to follow. Psalms‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬

Have you ever been hiking through a forest and lost sight of the trail? Some trails are well marked or even paved. Sometimes though, trails can be hard to follow. Other trails made by animals or people who have taken it upon themselves to find different way, can make your progress confusing, or even dangerous!

We live in a time when many trails cross our paths making it hard to discern which way to go. How many times have you thought (or even said) ‘if only God would just send me a text message or an email so I’d know what to do?’ It seems like around every corner there is a fork in the road.

“Do I choose this relationship or move away from it?”

“Do I take this job, or look for something different?”

“What is the best way for me to eat the way I know I should?”

“I’m facing a transition in life transition.What are next steps?”

When the path becomes difficult to discern, Jesus gives us three steps to help us keep on the path of safety and success.

First, remember that the enemy wants to keep you off course, so ASK the father for direction.

Secondly, don’t be mislead by the path that may seem the most traveled. SEEK for signs of the proper way through prayer, seeking advice from trusted, Godly friends, and reading God’s word.

Lastly, Move forward! FINDing the way is a process. Detours make take us longer to get to our destination, but we may learn valuable lessons along the way.
