When we first make commitment
To relationship or "plan",
Then we must keep direction
From the point where we began.
We cannot wander off on "trails"
But need to "stay the course".
In God we can keep focused,
And our faith He'll reinforce.
If we should step just slightly
From our chosen path in error,
It may not e'en feel wrong
But we truly should beware.
When we follow on that path
Our steps lead us astray,
And then the path where we began
Will seem so far away.
At this point we must go back
To where we first began
To identify our error
And correct our course and plan.
It's well to keep an eye
On our course at every turn,
To ask God for direction
And His answers to discern.
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
