PATHS TO BLESSINGS

4:27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: Remove thy foot from evil.



     When recently traveling to my brother's house, I found myself hopelessly lost. He had given me good directions, telling me to stay on a highway until I came to a certain traffic light. I drove down the highway for what seemed like hours. As the miles passed, I began to doubt whether or not my brother had given me the right directions. The doubts grew and grew, until finally I decided to turn off. I headed in the general direction I thought my brother would be, and that was how I got myself lost. As it turned out, I was only a few minutes from the proper light, but because of my doubts, I was led to make a bad decision.

     Many times in our lives we will find ourselves in situations where we grow impatient or doubtful. It is during those times that it is most important to hold fast to the promises of God. God IS always there, and He knows what is best for us in every situation. It is vital that we not turn to the right or left but stay steadfastly on the path that leads to God. If we will learn to do that, then the blessings of God will be ours in all circumstances.

God Bless All of You!!

Amen!  With all of the distractions this life has to offer, we must make sure that we stay close to God, and He will bless us for it!

As I get older, I am so glad the Lord has been there for me directing me. Many times I have wanted to veer off the path he has lead me down. But he has put others into that path that have helped me stay the right way.

Thank you Gretchen for the comment and star!! So many times we get caught up in the temptations of the devil, but we must hold strong to His steadfast love for us. Glad to hear that you had some help along the way. We all need it from time to time.
