God's Way Through the Chaos

 

He did not seek

  guidance from the LORD.

           1 Chronicles 10. 14

(And then we wonder

       what went wrong?

Ignoring, avoiding,

    turning away from God

    never ends well.

Neither the journey

            nor the outcome

   can ever be the same.

We need always to ask:

    Am I walking with God

    through this situation?

God enlarges our minds

    to approach and navigate

                  differently.

He alters our hearts

   to grasp the unexpected

and see another way in this,

   His deeper vision and

     incredible purposes.

And provides His strength

    far beyond our own.)

O LORD,

We seek not just Your guidance,

   but we seek You.

Help us to follow You

   in whatever is before us,

whether bushwhacking

      through the thicket

or staying in our lane.

Synchronize our thoughts

      with Yours

that we may walk differently

        into this day.
