Direction?

Jeremiah 10: 23 I know, O LORD, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps.

Jeremiah’s prayer was heartfelt. God had commissioned him to relay a difficult message to the people of upcoming judgment. Being God’s spokesmen was an incredible honor but he also paid a price for his obedience.

God never promised me that serving Him would be easy or that I would always be liked. I have a great road ahead of me, one that I am excited about. However, there is also much uncertainty. I cannot plan my future I can only prepare and trust God with the rest. I live by faith and not by sight, because I live from God and God alone. I have a promise that He will never leave me nor forsake me. So I may not know what is coming next but I can rest assured that it is all good.

Lord, You are crazy good to me. I look back and You have never failed me and I know my future is secure as long as I don’t get in the way and mess it up. Thank you for Your faithfulness. I give You my life and my future. Amen
