Whenever we are faced with challenges, uncertainty and confusion on which path to take can be debilitating. When I come to the proverbial ‘fork in the road’--I notice there are usually three paths to choose from:
Path One--This is usually the tried and true choice. You just follow the herd so there will be lots of social support. You will have to expend some effort, but there is not much thinking involved. This is usually the path of least resistance.
Path Two--This is where you have to carve your own path. It is lonely and exhausting. You are likely to get overwhelmed and quit before you finish.
Path Three--God clears the path which He has chosen for you. You follow His lead. You align your movements according to His signals. You rely on his guidance. He takes care of the provisions, the debris, the equipment, the schedule--every detail.
So as we choose how to deal with any challenge, we can pick between one of these three paths. Thus far, I have traveled mostly on the first two paths, and neither has got me to where I hoped to be. So now, it’s time to try Path three...
