“It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.” Psalm 18:32
Our lives can be so chaotic that we often forget the Christian practice of relinquishing all of our pending issues to God. It is in relinquishing our issues that our direction is made perfect in His will. But of course, relinquishing is much easier said, than done. For most of us, it is far too easy to mastermind our own escape, making our decisions much too quickly and without any premonition or thought of the future outcome. And yet, we do it anyway; often, getting into trouble without the ability to turn back or correct our errors. At the onset, God’s way always seems absurd and more difficult; so, we simply do it our way.
And so, like the Children of Israel struggling with their obedience as they walked in the desert, we tend to mastermind our own walk by continuously walking in circles, tracing our own footsteps over and over again. God, on the other hand, travels in perfection, using the ultimate geometric theorem where, “the shortest distance between two points is a straight line;” a line, created just for you to make your way perfect.
