The devil, societal norms, marketers, manipulators of every kind are constantly shouting at us to do this or do that, buy this or buy that, calling and calling for us to listen to them and follow. How do we shut them up? How do we keep from being constantly deceived? Even the well meaning voices of people we respect and trust can unwittingly lead us astray. Believe me, I have swung in so many radical directions following the advice of people I trusted.
When you open yourself to God’s loving care, you can trust Him completely. He promises to never leave, to be faithful, to rescue you, to protect you, to finish the work He started, and to lead you Home. Only His promises can be trusted. When we give ourselves into the Father’s care we are given an internal GPS, God’s positioning system, so that no matter where we are, no matter what decisions we have made, right or wrong, we can get directions home from wherever we are. There is never any reason to lose hope or be afraid. We simply enter into our heart, whisper to God, “I am lost. Where do I go from here?” and He will direct you. No matter how many wrong turns you take, you are never lost to your Father.
I have found myself so far from where I belong, pursuing all the wrong things, and I have been tempted to think that I would never get back to where I am supposed to be. I have been tempted to despair because every decision I made seemed like the wrong one and seemed to have irreversible consequences but then I am I reminded that NOTHING is impossible with God and if I start to listen to His voice right NOW, right this very instant, I will find myself where I am supposed to be. I can trust that God will bring to fulfillment His plans for me. I can trust that My Father is greater than I am stubborn, that My Father can fix any problem I give to Him. If my dress is dirty, He can clean it. If my face is disfigured, He can make it beautiful again, if my heart is broken, He can make it bigger and better, and if I die, My Daddy can bring me back to life.
