You know life doesn't always go according to your plan. I feel like a pawn in a game sometimes. Do you remember the game chutes and ladders. We let a die dictate what direction we are going in the game. That is kind of like letting our own brains dictate where we go in life instead of listening to God. The die says to take two steps and so you do. You look down and realized you get to go up a ladder. You see when you follow your brain sometimes you get good directions but before you know it you have gotten yourself in a rut just like in the game. You might be doing good so far going up ladders and then you look at the board and you are sliding down a chute. Life happens like that in fact it happened to me last week. We aren't all perfect but we do need to remember to keep our eyes on the Lord. He can be our dice. He can tell us to go two steps forward and say wait don't go any farther. Sometimes he speaks through other people like for instance for me its my husband and my friend Isiah. My husband tells me he needs me and he feels like I am never home, and right after he says that what do I do...go out. My friend Isiah says don't push people into doing something because they might run and what do I do...push. God uses people and himself to help us along the way and then its our decision what we do from there. So the next time you are given the decision between a chute or a ladder I hope you look up to God and follow him.
