"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3: 5 - 6
My life has gotten "off track" lately because of our recent move. When you move it disrupts everything in your life and things can get quite disorganized. All single parents know there are more things than moving that can get our lives off track. Sickness of a child, falling grades in school, bad behavior, etc. A multitude of things can get us off track, especially when we are one parent trying to do the work of two.
Sadly, when our lives get off track, more times than not the one thing that slips our mind or gets put to the side until things get "back to normal" (if there is a normal!) is our devotions and our quiet time with God. But it is in those hectic times in our lives that we need our quiet time with God. When our mind is screaming because there is too much to do, our work load at work is overbearing and our children are trying to find our breaking point (or so it seems), it is at those times when we need to get alone with God and let Him quiet our spirit and mind and put things back in order. When we go to God with our heartbreaks, our frustrations, our confusion, He takes it all and makes sense of it. He quiets our hearts, calms the frustration, and makes sense of our confusion, one simple word from God and every thing is at peace once again.
If you haven't taken time to be with God today, to talk to Him and share your innermost feelings, take the time. He is always there and you will never get a busy signal with God. He WANTS to fellowship with you, He LOVES to hear your voice and He LONGS to spend time with you. The God of the universe loves you and wants to help you, heal your hurts, and strengthen your heart.
When your life gets off track, let God put it back on track. Let's determine that we will have our quiet time with God each day and let Him direct our paths.
