Hiking in the Grand Canyon is amazing! The views are simply beyond words and yet I wondered, isn't there a more direct route when you begin to think I can't go any further...Sounds a little bit like the grumbling Israelites, doesn't it?
God knows how we all are deep down inside. He knows what we need, so that we remember it is Him that gets us through. Plus I believe God is humorous. He loves to watch us and share the humor in these moments with us.
Sometimes we just need the round about way or the detour to get this thing right. I love the way God said it in Exodus 13:17 ~ "If the people are faced with a battle, they might change their minds and return to Egypt." Wow, they would return to life of slavery rather than the one God is planning, so He must make another plan to be sure we stay the course.
It gives me a lot of comfort to know that God makes a plan and will continue to adjust to be sure that I finally get it! God loves us so very much and all He ask is for us to trust Him.
Sad, but daily we all must make a choice are we going to return to whatever it is that we just can't let go of or will we allow God to take us a round about way to freedom? Let's take the round about and enjoy the view.
Sweet blessings,
Debbie
