Psalm 25:5
Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.

The toughest times in life are most often those when you decide to wander off on your own with no real direction other than you are just going to do your own thing. I remember back, years ago that first year after my divorce. I had been told that quite often when someone gets a divorce they seem to act like a crazy teen for about a year but I was certain that wouldn’t be me after all I was walking closely with God, I would never do that! Famous last words! I didn’t really act out of rebellion, I acted out of no longer having direction. There was a part of me that was frustrated because I felt as though I had been doing everything I knew to do that was right in walking with God and yet my marriage fell apart, my husband was not the man I thought he was and he was living a double life. I wasn’t acting out but I wasn’t walking with direction from God after my divorce for a few years, I wasn’t rebellious I was lost with no direction.

When we are hurt or angry or things just seem to be a mess in our lives or maybe even scary (I feared for my life before I left my husband), we need to draw close to God and ask Him to lead us and teach us what we need to know. He is the God who saves and He is the God who wants to lead and direct you. Wandering off on your own will only bring more heart ache and frustration. God knows the path you need to take, He knows how to heal your wounded heart. Don’t allow Satan the opportunity to get a foothold on your life, he will do his best to destroy what is left.

This is a tough lesson to have to learn the hard way because you will find you will forever look back wishing you hadn’t wasted so much time wandering aimlessly in life accomplishing nothing. If you are hurting or scared please take a moment and think about what lies ahead……. is it worth throwing away all the good that could be around the bend to act out your hurt and fears or can you give it all to God and allow Him to heal as you walk with Him. Don’t waste a year or a month, or day or even a moment ~ life is too short ~ allow God to lead you and deliver you. Allow Him to give you that much needed direction again in your life! Don’t allow Satan to destroy more than he already has! Hold on to the one who loves you can cares enough to be your salvation!
