Chatting with Jesus
Tuesday, October 18, 2022
Lord, I’ve heard the excitement in off-roading is like none other. However, as a Christ-follower, avoiding off-road excitement is a daily task.
Of course, I’m referring to the road of truth You are leading me on, since You planned my journey long before my birth, (Psalm 139:16). In the psalmist time, I think all chariots could be used off-road, but he knew the eternal importance of following You on our chosen road. He wrote:
Lead me by Your truth and teach me, for You are the God who saves me, — Psalm 25:5
But lord, we’re human living in a fallen world. You see how Your people wander off-road.
Remember, O Lord, your compassion and unfailing love, which you have shown from long ages past.” — Psalm 25:6
We call on You Lord. Remember Your unfailing love mixed with Your compassion when dealing with Your imperfect, wayward people. As flawed but forgiven Christ-followers, we occasionally stray off the road You have chosen. Most times, our chasing after those glitzy attractions create a mess that requires a divine intervention. Like the psalmist, we find forgiveness in Your mercy. You not only save our souls, but You rescue the righteous when we cry out to You in our troubles, (Psalm 34:17). Your compassion and the warmth of Your love restore our wounded and bruised souls
Lord, don’t let the consequences of our follies be in vain. In humility and by Your grace, use our off-road experiences to motivate us to a higher level of commitment to You, transforming our character more into Your character.
Lead on, Lord. I’m right behind You. Amen.
THANKFUL
