Fantastic Friday #560 - Lane

Lane

11 Teach me your way, Lord;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.

13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord. Psalm 27:11-14

Have you ever thought while you are driving why we have lanes to drive in, especially when you see the people flying around you crossing this way and that way to get to their destination more quickly? My thought is that we have lanes to keep order. When we have order, there will be a smoother process for us to get to our destination. The same thought process applies to our path to our Lord. If we stay straight in our lane and not focus on the desire of the enemy, we can remain confident that God will keep us in our lane. We can't get antsy and expect the Lord to help us find the quickest way to our destination, but we can count on His goodness to help us find the straightest path to Him. So take a moment to realize that it is better to stay in your lane than be tempted to what appears to be a faster lane.

Have a great weekend.
