This passage has been sort of a 'life verse' for me as I've tried to follow the Lord through the years. I like it because there's so much wisdom in it and because there is also so much hope. There is also the instruction to not lean on my own understanding and that is certainly a daily temptation. My family and I know that a God-directed path is really the only path for us. We are at a loss for words in describing how trustworthy our Lord is and how much He is worthy of our 'acknowledgement.' It is now November and as we look back over the past couple of years we can see the path He has directed. We have learned quite a few things:
- Trust God. There have been some very difficult days here in Mexico. The transition was much harder than we imagined it would be and we had a mountain of doubts. But God has been faithful through every storm and has directed our path.
- We're Not Going to Understand Some Things. There's a ton we've learned in this area.
- Our Ways Must Honor the Father. Measuring our ways so that they bring honor to Christ has kept our mouths shut many times this year and allowed the Father to work on our behalf.
- His Path is All That Matters. There's no better place to be than on the path He has for us. We certainly would not have chosen the bumps that we encountered these past couple of years but we're convinced the Father is using those to make us more like His Son.
Our family has been blessed beyond measure in so many ways and we are so thankful for all of you who pray for us and 'hold the rope' through your financial support of the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering and the Cooperative Program of Southern Baptist churches.
