"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye. "
~Ps 32:8~
It's an interesting time of life for me. Our schedule couldn't be more packed. It's just normal daily life "stuff"- work, ballgames every day, church activities, chores at home. It's all things we love and enjoy. But still, we get tired sometimes. Can I tell you that's when satan comes to attack, when your tired and weak and not expecting him? It's a scheme as old as Jesus' day. Satan did the same thing to Him, he brought temptation after Jesus had fasted forty days, when Jesus was weak in body.
It is these times I have to remember this verse: that He will guide me with HIS eye. Not my own eyes.
Listen to the next verse in this passage:
"Do not be like the horse or like the mule,
Which have no understanding,
Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle,
Else they will not come near you."
~Ps 32:9~
When my mind has difficulty focusing because of fatigue or discouragement, it's HIS eyes I need to trust.When I can't see any further than the nose in my face, I've got to remember He sees everything ahead, my future. When I cannot understand why I have to take this long winding road ahead instead of the short-cut, I've got to trust there is something dangerous He is detouring me around.
His eyes see my future, the grand plans He has for me. And they are bigger than anytting I could have dreamed on my own. I must not make Him drag me with bit & bridle. I must step forward with a willing spirit, trusting His eye.
