Two-minute read.
Who doesn’t want a straight path to walk? Visiting Watkins Glen State Park in upstate New York, we traversed 800 stone steps on the Gorge Trail, the closest to Glen Creek, which creates the 19 breathtaking waterfalls for visitors to view. Twisting and turning, we had to pay attention to prevent slipping and falling on the trail.
Straight paths with no grade make hiking so much easier. Life’s twists and turns can take our breath away as quickly as a beautiful waterfall. Trust in the Lord helps us navigate circumstances with clear direction and divine guidance, allowing us to avoid pitfalls that could waylay our journey.
Instead of relying on our limited understanding of the world around us, we can lean into the Savior and trust His knowledge. Giving God our heart allows Him to go before us, straightening our paths and giving us victory in Him. We don’t have to know the itinerary; we can trust the travel agent to get us to our destination as efficiently and easily as possible.
As you begin your day, ask the Lord to straighten out your path. Permit Him to take you where He wants you to go. Admit you don’t understand everything and rely on His perspective to lead you. In all things, trust the Savior and let Him guide your way.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for knowing the direction You want us to travel and preparing the path for us to follow. Please help us trust You completely, acknowledging Your ways and allowing You to lead us to our destiny.
IJNIP. Amen
