The Importance of Being There

Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.—Psalm 27:11 (KJV)
Have you ever reflected on your life journey and felt like you’ve backtracked? Perhaps an unexpected detour, in hindsight, feels like wasted time, or a distraction led you to believe you got lost on the path. The good news is that when you follow God, even in times when life’s turns don’t make sense, you can trust that you are on the right road.
Heavenly Father, I have faith that I am always on a straight path when I stay close to You.
