Rerouting the Journey

"She is rerouting us again, Mommy?"  That sweet girl of mine knows all too well that her mama is directionally challenged.  The GPS tells me to turn left and I turn right. It happens way too often for my liking.  The good news: whether I miss a turn or not, the end result is always the same...we get to our final destination. It may just take us longer than we anticipated.

Want to know something awesome?

If you're seeking God's will in your life and He tells you to go one way and you mistakenly go another, it will be OK.  You may be rerouted to go on a longer, slightly more complicated path, but the final destination will be where He wants you to be.

So, if your journey seems rocky right now, take courage in this:

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.  The Lord works out everything to its proper end..." Proverbs 16:3-4

Remember that nothing comes as a surprise to God.  He already knows what turn you're going to take before you take it and He already has it all worked out.
