Order My Steps

I heard this thought on the radio this week and thought it was worth sharing.  “If you allow God to order your steps and allow Him to lead you down the path of life, where you are is not where you’re going.”

I had to stop and think about it for a second…then I realized how profound it was.  If we allow God to be in charge of our path, then it doesn’t really matter where we are at the present, He has better things waiting for us just up ahead.  Psalm 119:133 says: “Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.”  And Psalm 23:3 says:  “…He guides me along the right paths…”

As I thought about the statement more and more, the image that came to mind is one of driving down a dark road and entering a tunnel, at the moment I’m in the dark and alone but I know when I get to my destination I will have light and will not be alone.

So many times in our lives we feel like we are in a dark place and can’t see our way out, we have nowhere to turn and are feeling hopeless.  When we come to this place we need to ask ourselves are we allowing God to order our steps.  We can’t look at the situation we need to look at our heart and be honest.  If the answer is yes, then don’t worry about the situation, keep your eyes on Christ and the road before you.  If the answer is no, then repent and ask God to order your steps.

I know life can be overwhelming but that is not how God designed it to be.  We are designed to have a relationship with Father God and in that relationship we find peace in the midst of whatever storm or dark place we are going through.  It’s been said: KNOW God, Know Peace; NO God, no peace.
