We sometimes cannot seem to see just where we should be going.
So we must lean upon the Lord to have an inner knowing.
Never will we go astray
Or fear that we will lose our way.
He’ll lead us on “a simple path”, and wisdom He will be bestowing.
Think of all the time we’ll save, avoiding trails we should not take.
The Lord will save us many errors and slip-ups which we need not make.
When we cannot see the trail
Or “bumpy” pathways cannot scale,
We’ll be steady in His care. Of peace and calm we will partake.
If we make a special plan and try to go our very own way,
Without God’s help we could get “lost”, and then our plans would go astray.
Our path might turn out really wrong
And show us we are not so strong.
It’s best to wait on God’s direction... then our “path” will be okay.
“Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5 Amplified Bible
