Jeremiah 42:3, “That the LORD thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk,and the thing that we may do.”
Every morning when we wake up, we have a whole day ahead of us with many choices and potential paths to follow. I am not a morning person so I honestly cannot say that my mind is racing (more like plodding) though the plans for the day. There are things to accomplish, places to go, and much to do.
I love this verse in Jeremiah because it causes me to focus on the fact that I need to stop and consult God concerning His path for me during the day. God actually cares how we spend our time and desires for us to ASK Him what He wants us to do and where He wants us to go.
It amazes me that God cares so much for each one of us that He wants to direct our lives on a daily basis. We certainly cannot ask for a better guide!
The truth is that we often do not even think to ask God to direct our day. We are so busy plodding through the day- choosing our own path and doing our own things that we do not even consult God about what He desire for us to do. Shame on us!
My challenge to you this week is that you join Jeremiah in his prayer and ask God each morning as you wake up to guide you and lead you through the day. I dare say, at the end of the day you will feel like you have succeeded in doing what you should have done – instead of regretting time wasted.
