  From a distance we can’t see the trees of the forest; we see a forest.  When we enter the forest we see trees. Nothing has changed except our position. So it is with our understanding. It vacillates, the facts do not.

     Given that there is a way to get from “A” to “Z,” and if we had a map we could see that there always is, but how do we avoid the pitfalls, enjoy the journey, and arrive happy?  Happiness is the common desire of us all.

     We find that we have issues and circumstances. Those also are common to all of us in this life in the forest.  We need a GPS so we can understand or position and establish our objective. For that, we must rely on Another’s perspective.

     When we ignore God, or disagree with Him, our choices are blind or rebellious. Were we eager to learn, history would tell us the true story that man (that’s us), tempted to follow desire in disobedience to God, found that desire unrestrained and unguided gets us into a lot of trouble. 

     Ours is not the first venture through the woods.  We need “Strength for our day and bright hope for tomorrow” as the song writer wrote.  We need moment––by––moment guidance. God promises this. 

    God’s help is always directed toward life success.  His strength cannot be made to lead us into temptation, but will deliverer us from evil.  It is what He does.   He is our GPS.

     We stand at “A,” a beginning every morning.  Every moment can be a new beginning.  Whenever we awake to the Spirit, we can say with the Apostle Paul, “Now, unto Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think” (Ephesians chapter 3).  

     No matter where we are in our lifetime journey, we have the option of turning in trust to the One who does clearly see the trees, the forest, the end goal––the way for us.  We should not insult His generosity.  He really does love us.   

     Will we take this word and go forward as “More than conquerors through him that loved us?” (Romans 8:37). 

     Will we believe He who came to give us life and life abundantly? If we refuse such great salvation, our days will proceed anyway.   We can be as a rotten apple; contaminating the whole peck.  Or, we can be as a light shining the way more brightly each day. (Proverbs 4:18)

     Let us face this day, looking beyond our limited gaze to His leading. We can visualize ourselves in the tag match of life. Reach out and touch the Lord.  His hand is extended. His arms have been outstretched for some time.

     “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation” (Psalm 68:1, 3, 19, 28, 34, and 35).
