For “you were like sheep going astray,”
but now you have returned to the Shepherd
and Overseer of your souls.
1 Peter 2:25 (NIV)
Oh Lord, I rushed ahead of You today, and even though I thought You’d approve of my shiny new goals, I sense that the glitter of it distracted me and took me off Your path. Give me wisdom. I want to return to You as my loving Shepherd. Otherwise, I become a sheep thrashing in the prickly brambles and bumbling off cliffs. Thank You that You have a much more glorious plan for me than I could ever have for myself…
Questions for Pondering…
Why is it so easy to get off the path the Lord has for me?
Do I secretly think that my plans are more glorious than God’s?
