Straight Paths

Are your paths straight, or are they meandering and filled with obstacles and misdirection? What would it look like if your paths were clear and directed by God?
When we trust in our own understanding, biased insight, and limited knowledge, we can be led astray. However, when we trust in God, our path will be directed by God.
The wisdom of the Proverbs tells us, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6, ESV).
When we acknowledge God, we get the direction we are looking for. When we trust in God, we see the clear and straight path before us.
May we trust in God will all of our heart and experience his straight path for our life as we acknowledge him.
A Collect for the Renewal of Life: “O God, the King eternal, whose light divides the day from the night and turns the shadow of death into the morning: Drive far from us all wrong desires, incline our hearts to keep your law, and guide our feet into the way of peace; that, having done your will with cheerfulness during the day, we may, when night comes, rejoice to give you thanks; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
