Devotion
We’re In Our Own Way
Psalms 119:105 (NIV) Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
We all have a Master’s degree in complicating things. We confuse ourselves when we insert our thought process with what the scriptures say. I guess we try to help Jesus help us. Jesus doesn’t need our help! He wants our obedience so we can know the joy of His help in our lives. Jesus is our Leader. The reason we often find so many bumps in the road we travel on is because we get in our own way. If we are smart, we’ll take a few steps back, and let Jesus have the lead. In doing so, we’ll be led to walk on well-lit paths because of His direction and our obedience. Don’t add your good intentions to the scriptures. Take in the scriptures for the fullness of what they offer. Trust Jesus for wisdom and understanding. Keep life simple. Follow Jesus, and stay out of your own way.
