My Shoes Are Muddy

I read Proverbs every day- well, most every day, and usually a verse reaches out and grabs me. Sometimes it might be a favorite one that I just like to reread and sometimes it might be one I've never paid much attention to before. Today there has been one that just won't leave me alone.

When you walk, your steps shall not be hampered [your path will be clear and open];
and when you run, you shall not stumble. Proverbs 4:12

I experienced another (minor) setback today and dwelling on that here would not change a thing. I tried to talk to the Lord about it and all I could come up with were words to a song: You are God in Heaven and I am here on earth, so I'll let my words be few. I mean really... who am I to complain when things don't follow my plan?

And just what exactly is my plan? Does it line up with His?
Am I just killing time until HE catches up with ME?

Deep thoughts, people, for a Thursday night.

It does seems like, for quite some time, my life has been the exact opposite of that verse. My steps are hampered. The path is muddy. I stumble over every branch in the road. Does that mean I've taken a wrong turn? Did I read the map wrong? Has the GPS failed me once again?

GPS= Global Positioning System

or

GPS= God Positioning System

If I'm on the global circuit, there's an easy explanation. I've had our own GPS take me down a wrong road one too many times. If I'm on the God track... well, He's certainly not the one out of whack.

Consider well the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established and ordered aright. Proverbs 4:26
