An Old Pro

Sometimes I forget that God is an old pro at watching over and helping guide my life.

I am a firm believer that I can choose to do my own thing, apart from the wisdom and counsel of His Spirit.

Maybe too much so.

Or maybe I don't take seriously enough the depth of which He understands me and is still able to draw me back to going the right direction.

I miss details.

He doesn't.

What is the verse in Matthew? Something about He sees every sparrow that falls from the sky, has every hair on my head numbered; do I really think He is going to forget something even if I do?

But what if He just lets me forget?

What if I just totally miss something? Then what?

And then I reflect. I reflect on all the times that I missed a step in the journey of life, the times where I forgot to do something or had a poor attitude or simply skipped passed an opportunity to show someone love. You know what?

It has always worked out.

Maybe not perfectly. Maybe not, well certainly not, the way I thought it would have. But the key for me is this:

The world did not end.

Nope. Sure didn't.

And the journey continues.
