Detours and Roads under construction

“Detours and Roads under construction”

It seems the summer is a great time to do road repairs and construction. Have you noticed? At least this summer I sure have experienced a lot of that. How about you? You have well laid out plans and you begin your trip and before you know it, you get stopped and there’s the sign – “road under construction”. There are detours, flat tires, and disappointments. Things just have not worked out the way that you planned. How do you make sense of life when life does not make sense? I have found in life that it’s a short step from disappointment to God’s ultimate destiny for us. This could be the biggest disappointment in your life, or it could be God directing you to His destiny for you! God’s Word teaches over and over that we will be blessed by waiting on the Lord. (See Psalms 37) Henry Blackeby wrote years ago, “never come to the final conclusion on anything that is happening in your life until to you consider it from God’s point of view.” I have taken his advise on this on more than one occasion in my life. I offer it, that is HIM to you no matter what you are walking through. Let Him make sense of life when life does not make sense.

There is something exciting about the Fall of the year for me. A new School year begins. 

(I can hear groans from some) New seasons of life begin {football seasons and hunting seasons! :-) } Brisk fall air sharpens my senses and calls me to the new seasons that are right before me. I hope you share in this with me. Something new is at work around us. He is at work! Calling us to consider His point of view on things. I believe as we do, we will be blessed and filled with hope for the future. This might just be God directing you to His destiny for you through the detours and road blocks. Keep looking to and trusting in Him! Believing in Jesus and sharing Him with others. That’s our task in every season.  Lets be about His business! (Matt 6:33)
