The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” Psalm 32:8

 Several years ago, I went out on a long motorcycle ride up through Alabama. There are plenty of beautiful country roads that make riding a motorcycle enjoyable. After many hours of riding, time had escaped me and I needed to get home rather quickly. I decided to part from the 2-lane road and get on the interstate to make up some time. My GPS kept telling me to turn off onto a 2-lane road, but I kept going. Eventually I ran into a very long line of cars, slowly creeping along the interstate due to a semi-truck accident 2 miles ahead. It was about 90 plus degrees and I was a sweating mess. If only I had followed my GPS, I would have gotten home sooner than my experience on the interstate.

 Do you ever wonder why God waits so long to answer your prayers or receive His blessings? We get it fixed in our minds how we expect things to go when we call upon God, and head in that direction, totally missing His still quiet voice telling us another path towards His answers, His blessings. The truth is, we are the reason for delayed answers, because we fail to follow Him closely.

 Prayer and focus on God is essential to keeping in step with His wisdom and guidance. He sees what’s up ahead and will redirect your steps to keep you from disaster. He promised to always provide us His best. Sometimes it takes a lot of faith in God to let Him direct your path, but essential if you want His very best for your life.

 Maybe you are on a pathway, seeking God’s wisdom. Are you staying prayed up, are you looking for signs that detour your current direction? Be ready and willing to do everything He says in the process of answering your request and you’ll soon recognize His promised delivery came at just the right moment. Follow Him in faith and He’ll get you there on time, every time! God bless!
