I know, O LORD, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps.
Jeremiah 10:23 (NIV)
If a man’s life does not belong to himself, then to whom does it belong?
It belongs to God!
God created us. We came from Him. We are going back to Him. The very air in our lungs belongs to God. Our next breath is His gift. We were created for His glory! We are God’s property.
This may make you feel a little nervous. “If I belong to God then He can do whatever He wants with me.” Yes, but consider who He is. He is not cruel, manipulative, or tyrannical. He is good and gracious and loving. He desires only the best for us.
If I belong to Him then I am His responsibility. And since He is fully capable of taking care of His own, He will take care of me. Whew, that’s a load off my back!
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and He delights in his way.
Psalms 37:23 (NKJV)
God has a plan for the whole of my life. He has a plan for my life today. If I “shoot from the hip” in governing my steps today I will accomplish nothing of eternal significance. But if I will be sensitive to the Holy Spirit in my life—His promptings and nudging—He will point me in the right direction… and what a difference that will make!
God will direct my steps today to do His will and glorify Him—life’s ultimate adventure!
Holy Spirit, be my Guide.
I cannot wait to see where He leads me today!
