Wallerin’ in Wickedness

Okay, so today will be a little preachy but since the blog is short, maybe you can just deal with it.

Life is something I have no control over. Yet, I do. The Bible says I can make my plans, but God directs my steps if I allow Him to. And why wouldn’t I? Since He created the earth to not crash into anything (unlike me when I drive Mama’s wheelchair), I figure it’s better to let Him do the driving.

The problem is, I like an agenda. Step-by-step. Not a recipe, but some general directions. Though, come to think of it, I don’t even trust my GPS! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bailed before I allowed my Australian voiced guide to get me to my destination or turned a different direction because what he said didn’t feel right.

Back to God’s direction … Do I listen to my still, small voice to wisely choose the day’s itinerary? Do I ask God to guide my day’s journey in order that I may influence those He meant for me to bless? How does my time in prayer and the Word affect my future? Am I prepared with God’s armor to meet the challenges of the day?

I’ve been reading about the Old Testament kings. Bless their hearts, some of them were real screw ups! Some of them started off on the right path but when they reached old age (though they were kids compared to me!), they fell off the righteous wagon into a deep pile of stupid and wallered around in a puddle of pure ol’ wickedness! Man! I sure hope I am smarter than that! After all, it is a whole lot easier to learn from historical idiots than be one myself!
