Side Trips

I am not daunted by seeming delays or unexpected interruptions. my way is divinely laid out and I meet only good on my way.

How do you most often react to an unexpected interruption? Many times we are disturbed by a telephone call, a neighbor asking for help or advice, or perhaps a child needing our attention. If we are in the midst of some special project, our emotions may range from mild annoyance to open or hidden hostility toward the one who breaks our train of thought.

If we know, however, that we are traveling the road of good, these little interruptions can be looked upon as roadside rest periods or small, adventurous side trips. As long as we know that our true destination is assured, we can even learn to find enjoyment in some of the things that seem to detain us.

We cannot live alone. We are a vital part of the whole, and as we give to others so do we receive. Often we are so refreshed by our contact with others, and so uplifted if we have been of service, that we are able to go back to our own work with new insight, inspiration, and enthusiasm.

Know for sure that if you are striving to walk the way of good, then the awareness of God’s presence will sustain you. All that you meet along the way will work for your highest good.

We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps. (Proverbs 16:9)
