The Paths We Travel

by Paula Burgner
Most of the time, when we take off walking, we only think about where we are trying to get to and how fast we can reach our destination. Often, we are not thinking about what path we are on or who may be watching us to see where our path may lead. Sometimes, life can make us question everything we do, and make us wonder if we are taking the right steps. When this happens, we need to make sure that we are asking God to guide our every step, as He already knows the path that He has laid out before us.
In the Bible, it tells us this in Psalms 37:23: “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.” Just one footstep will not make a path; you must keep walking again and again in order to start seeing the path you have paved. If you come across a clear path, it might not lead anywhere, as most paths to great things have a lot of debris in the way. Sometimes, what may seem like a detour in life can be mistaken for a blessing in disguise.
We must find our own path in life. Whether we walk or run, we have to keep on going. Not all paths are straight; most of the paths we will go through in life will have ups and downs and curves along the way. For this reason, we must relay on God and ask Him to guide us along our way. Just as the Bible tells us in Proverbs 3:6, “In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
It’s not how fast we take on the path, but how we react while on that path. Sometimes, the most beautiful paths are never discovered unless you get lost. When you feel like the path you are on is not your own, think of it like this: in a forest of a thousand trees, there is no two leaves alike, and no two journeys along the same path are alike. When you feel lost and like you have taken the wrong path, pray, and God will show you the right way to go.
Proverbs 4:11 tells us, “I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.” We all have a choice to choose what path to take in life, and we each have different paths that we take, but no matter where we go in life, we always take a little of each other with us everywhere we go. So, stay grounded in God’s Word, and you will never walk a path in the dark. As the Bible tells us in Psalms 119:105, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
