January 20, 2024 - Proverbs‬ ‭20:24

“It is the Lord who directs your life, for each step you take is ordained by God to bring you closer to your destiny. So much of your life, then, remains a mystery!” Proverbs 20:24 TPT

Lord, thank you so much that you are leading and guiding us. Thank you that every step we take is ordained by you. Thank you that there are no accidents. Regardless of where we find ourselves, we thank you that you are in control. We can trust you. We surrender our dreams and our plans to you. You can see the big picture and you know what we really need to grow and find fulfillment. We can trust that you will get us to that if we keep following your guidance.

Lord, we know that doesn’t mean life will always be easy. It doesn’t mean that we will like everywhere that you take us, but it does mean that we can trust you even when the path you take us through is hard. We can trust that you will be with us, and you will give us the strength, mercy, peace, and whatever is needed for us to walk the path you have us on. That is an amazing thing. Thank you for the way you carry us through and make what might seem hard, or even impossible, doable. You can make it possible for us to rejoice when everything about where we are says we should be scared, depressed, overwhelmed, or give up.

Lord, what this verse says about life being a mystery is true. We don’t know what the future holds. We don’t understand your ways or the reasons you do things. Even in the mystery when we have no idea where you are taking us, we still trust you. Thank you that we don’t understand you and your ways. If we could understand everything about you, you wouldn’t be a very big God. But you are so much more than our brains can understand. What an amazing God we serve! Thank you for directing us through life. We say, “Yes”, to following your leading.

In Jesus name, amen.
