Psalm 119:133
Direct my footsteps according to Your word.

There are a thousand ways that I could start this evotion (fill in all your men don't ask for directions jokes), but I'll simply say that it's easy to get confused. There are a lot of Christians out there who are struggling to know exactly where God wants them to be going and that's why books about Dreams and Dreamgivers are best-sellers. We don't necessarily buy them because they're great books (although most of them are). We buy them because we're desperate for someone- anyone- to tell us where to go next.

The amazing thing about this problem is how casually we ask God for direction. Wait, let's rephrase that. We do a lot of asking. But we don't do a lot of listening. Can you imagine driving a car with someone next to you with a shrill, high-pitched voice whining at the tops of thier lungs about where you're headed? AUUGGHHHH! But that's not even the complete picture of how so many Christians ask God for direction. For that picture you have to imagine that same person doing the exact same thing while the MAP WAS IN THEIR LAP!!! That's how we appear to God when we beg Him for direction in our lives but never really read the Bible to find out where He's pointing.

Want to know where you're headed? Stop the car and read the map. You may be surprised at where God wants you to go.

Boy, I hope it's Hawaii.
