Whatever You Say - Doing God's Will
"God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
John 4:34, HCSB
God has given you the freedom of taking your best stab at life, of spreading out your own map, striking out on your own instincts, and finding your own way to the land of meaning and purpose.
But in case that responsibility leaves you feeling unsettled and ill equipped, He is more than willing to oversee your travel plans, to plot out the routes that He knows are best -- no matter how out-of-the-way they may appear to you.
After all, He knows the places where you're likely to bump into lane closures and construction delays. He knows that the squiggly red line on the map that appears to cut nearly an hour off your trip disguises a sea of school zones, stop signs, and Friday night ballgame traffic. He even knows they've opened one of your favorite restaurants on a little backroad that you never would have spotted if you'd gone the way you were thinking. With a travel agent like that helping you chart your path through life, why would anybody want to trust their own sense of direction?
Would you?
That answers a lot right there.
