In My Words – Major construction on my road the past several weeks. The progress is slow and rainy weather in between has not helped.

Delays, bumpy road, no center line; it has not been pleasant.

So…rather than complain about something I have no control over, I chose a different way to work.

And discovered lovely new views to admire, especially with the fall foliage. Views I might have missed if I kept to my original ride, with all its new problems.

This different road is about the same distance and leads through many rolling hills and beautiful scenery. Yes, I need to go slower because it is curvy and steep in parts. The slower speed does not make my commute much longer. It brightens my day and I enjoy the new vistas.

The Lord has been taking us down some different roads lately in our spiritual walk. It’s not always easy to try them out or to make the change. Yet He probably has wonderful and delightful things in store for us on our new paths.

Just around the next corner…

Has God been taking you down new roads lately? Remember – He has promised to direct our paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all they ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
