"Redirecting, redirecting . . . " Have you ever wanted to just throw the map, phone, or GPS out the window? I bet we've all "been there, done that". (Well, I hope you haven't already DONE that!) One time the GPS was trying to get me to drive off a cliff! Did I do something to offend the GPS? Why was it sending me off of a cliff?
Talk about the World Wide WEB! My computer got stuck in a WEB of "Redirecting . . . Redirecting" once - and it was not nice! Several years ago when one of my kids was a preschooler, she came to me while I was getting ready and said, "Mommy, I can't get all of the squares to go away on the computer." I said, "I'll fix it later. We have to get to church." By the time I got home my computer was such a mess it took me over 2 hours just to close all of those "Redirecting" boxes! (I've learned how to fix that since then!) I had to ask my daughter what all she saw. I was sure glad at her answer of "money stuff" because that was NOT all some those little boxes were about! In part of those little "Redirecting" boxes there was not "X" to close those boxes. They just kept redirecting me where I did not want to go. What a mess!
Yes, life is like that - constantly "Redirecting . . . Redirecting". I didn't mean to sound like I was complaining last night but I must have been. I made a comment about someone not showing up for a meeting where I was supposed help them, my husband "Redirected" me by saying, "Isn't that why they need help?" Yeah, yeah, yeah . . .
If I'm getting "Redirected", how do I know if it's right? I did a complete "180" change in employment 7 months ago. How did I know that was the right thing to do?
5 Well . . . Prov. 3: 5-6 is my guide:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct[a] your paths."
I think God is telling me to "Redirect" today. First my husband's "redirecting" last night and now I've already read, not 1, but 2 "redirecting" articles this morning. Guess I better open my "spiritual eyes" and pay attention! I sure don't want to be driving off a cliff!
