In my prayer time with God this morning, He led me to Psalm 107:6-7. 

 

⁶ Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
         And He delivered them out of their distresses.
 ⁷ And He led them forth by the right way,
         That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.
         That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.  (NKJ)

    I thought it was just for me because I have this tendency where if I’m in a bind, I might not ask for help from God, but just try to figure things out on my own.  He told me this is not His way and that this scripture is not just for me today, but that I should share it with you.

 

    So many times, we find ourselves in situations where we can’t figure out a way around it, over it or through it.  I believe these things happen because we need to depend more on God than we do ourselves.  He wants us to go to Him when we find ourselves in such situations.  Yet, we stress ourselves out trying to do things our own way and in our own strength.  He really didn’t make us like that.  He teaches us to come to Him in so many places different in the Bible.  When we do that, life is so much easier.  When we don’t, God may just keep His hands off the situation because you think you “got this” and you can do it all by yourself.  He just might allow that and the results could be quite detrimental.

 

    Why not just keep it simple.  Make a move to just ask for His divine guidance, wisdom and assistance before you  make  a mess of things.  As you look back over your life, you’ll be glad you did.
