Lady in Waiting

I have decided to go back through the Lady in Waiting Bible study and journal. I will be posting the reading for each day as I do them... I hope you are blessed.


Prologue
Have you ever noticed the funny way a pigeon walks? His head moves forward, he stops, then he takes a step. I have read that a pigeon's eyes do not focus unless his head is still...therefore, he focuses - then steps. We could learn a lot from this 'pigeon walk'.

Sometimes our lives seem to get out of control and our hearts are injured and our steps unsure. We lose focus and life comes apart at the seams...

Proverbs 3:5-6 are keys words to live by with regard to our steps:
'Trust in the Lord with all your heart...'
How much misdirection and pain could we avoid if we trusted in and were daily assured of God's awesome love for us?

'And do not lean on your own understanding...'
What trouble could we avoid if we went to the all-knowing God for daily direction and wisdom instead of fretting, planning, and worrying?

'In all your ways acknowledge Him...'
This is our focus for each step.

And the promise?
'He will make your paths straight'

It really doesn't matter how much we 'know' - it matters how much we 'live'.


Joy,
Elise
