The
Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their
lives.
- Psalm 37:23 (NLT)
Recalculating.
That is such a cringey word when you are traveling. Maybe there is a detour, a missed turn, or a road you thought you knew suddenly is not the road you are supposed to take anymore.
Our GPS can get pretty agitated when we do not follow her route exactly. And then there are the new roads the GPS does not even acknowledge, so the screen just shows you wandering off-road through the wilderness.
Sometimes detours are fun. You see things you would have missed on your normal route. Other times, detours are just annoying. They slow us down, change our plans, and make us wonder why we could not just keep going the way we intended.
But there is often a reason for a detour. It may be traffic, construction, danger ahead, or something we cannot see from where we are.
Life works that way too.
Sometimes God reroutes us because He sees farther down the road than we do. What feels like an interruption may actually be protection. What feels like a delay may be direction. What feels like the wrong road may be the very path God uses to lead us somewhere beautiful.
Take a minute and think about an unexpected detour in your life. Where did it lead you?
My favorite detour was the one that led me to my husband.
God is not confused by our missed turns, changed plans, or unexpected roads. He delights in every detail of our lives, and He knows exactly how to guide us home.
