DAILY READINGS: Judges 2:6 to 3:4; Isaiah 22:15 to 23:18; 1 Cor. 2
O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. Jeremiah 10:23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and He delighteth in his way. Psalms 37:23
Jeremiah lived in a time of great departure from God. It was a difficult time to be Jehovah's servant but he recognized that the Lord was sovereign over his life. He alone had the right to direct his steps. Often we are satisfied with our limited view of life, but remember, God has a complete overview. It is better to submit to His will and let Him “direct our steps”. We may not understand His purposes, or the path of His choosing, but if we “delight in His way” we will soon find out His way is best! —James Comte
Should mystery enshroud His plan and our short sight be dim,
We will not try the whole to scan, but leave each thread to Him. —A. Murray
