So I was thinking about directions. A friend of mind and I were heading back to my house and had to detour through the neighborhood. She wasn't completely sure where she was going, so I directing. I told her that she could stay on the current street until she came to my street many stop signs later, but after two she was ready for a change. So she turned, not really knowing where she was going. At the next intersection she looks to me for help and I comply. And thus the game was born of every time we hit a stop sign I would give her the options that would get her closer to my house and she would choose.

In what seemed like an hour later, we turn onto my street, laughing all the way.

I make some snide comment about how getting home took a lot longer than it had to as we turned in the driveway and then it hit me: that's pretty much how my walk with Christ goes every day.

He's already said "whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." (Is 30:21) I've got options. I can turn right or left and He'll direct. But I could just go straight and probably get there a little quicker.

Hmmm...nothing like winding around the neighborhood.

I'm sure I'm bound for some twists and turns. I'm a bit too head-strong at times. But thankfully He's directing.

Can you hear the voice?
