Psalm 25:10 / English Standard Version: "All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies"
There is a Family Circus cartoon where the son is asked to take out the garbage. The drawing then traces the tangled and erratic pathway between the boy and his final destination. He bounces over couches, through windows, under wheelbarrows, around trees, between siblings, all on the way to the curbside trash can.
Our lives can feel like this at times: unpredictable, illogical, and inconsistent. Changes in work, marriage, family, or church can make the road seem irrational, uneven and confusing. But God makes us the promise of a steadfast path when we keep his covenant. When we consider our lives through our limited human perspective, the path seems wavering. But the guidance of Jesus Christ is, in fact, steadfast!
Your path has been chosen for you and your feet have been set upon it. Truly it is a path of love and faithfulness. He has made a covenant with you and you keep it when you trust him, even in the refinement of your path. It will be uncomfortable at times and you might ask yourself why his guidance is winding you around in the craziest of directions, but trust I'm! His paths are perfect.
How do you recognize God's faithful leading even though your path might feel a little uncertain?
