Prov. 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths."
Several years ago I was headed north on Interstate 65, traveling from Hartselle to Decatur, Alabama. As I came to a particular stretch of the road, southbound traffic was at a stand still for a distance of approximately three miles. Farther up the highway, south- bound cars were moving right along without any inkling of the delay which awaited them ahead. With my superior knowledge, I longed for some way to warn them to take an alternate route and avoid the traffic jam.
God sees through time as clearly as we see through space. He knows exactly what the future would hold for us on each path that we might take. With His superior knowledge, think how He must long to warn us which paths to take to avoid unnecessary delays, problems, or dead ends. He has installed a warning system in His Word for those who will read it and heed it. And if we are attuned to His Spirit, He will guide us personally and daily through prayer, devotionals, circumstances, other people, and an inward peace when we are walking in the center of His will.
