Following

Last night as I pondered some rather important choices that lie before me, the Lord brought this to mind:

All I have to do is follow Him. It sounds simplistic, but let me illustrate my point.

Last month, I took a hike in the desert with my grandfather.  The path had many curves and other trails branching off from it.  But I didn't stop and wonder at every turn which way was right.  I had no fear of getting lost.  All I did was follow Grandpa.  And guess what?  He didn't lead me astray.

I'm not saying it's wrong to think about consequences, to pray about decisions, or to seek the counsel of other saints.  All of these are good things to do.  But there comes a time when the only thing to do is trust the One leading.

He will not lead me astray!

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will counsel you with My eye upon you."
~Psalm 32:8
