God Is Our Guide

Read Psalm 16:1-11

I remember back in October of 2021, walking a corn maze with Team Red White and Blue Grand Rapids (a nationwide Veteran group.) We followed the walled path; but when we neared what we thought was the exit, there was another wall. We had to back up and look for another way out. It was a bit difficult to reach the end, but with perseverance we reached the goal.

Life is like a maze. Many times, we ask God why certain things happen to us. We try to grasp difficult situations but are unable to understand them. We hurry here and there, looking for the right path. Obstacles stop us in our tracks, and we don’t understand why we must backtrack or even face those obstacles in the first place. It becomes crucial to allow God to guide us through the twisting and turning passageways of life so that we can find the path that will lead to the fullness of joy that only God can offer.

Prayer: Almighty God, show us the path that leads to the fullness of joy in you. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
