Have you ever had the experience of missing your way while travelling? Can you recall the helplessness and overwhelming feeling that seemed to have swallowed you up? Further yet, do you remember the way you felt after the ordeal? Can you now recall what or who placed you back on the right track?
Well, I have recently had some experiences that left me feeling 'lost'. It was disappointment after disappointment. Also in the mix was one situation in which I felt unfairly treated. I was drowning in my emotions and I seemed unable to pull myself from the lingering feeling of anger and hurt. But, the Lord brought back to my spirit through a devotional reading on the life of Joseph, the value of adversity in our lives when we follow him. I also read that when we face closed doors and things which seem to be setbacks, it could be God's way of revealing His purpose in new situations. It could also be His way of preserving us from the traps of the enemy. Still yet it could also be the way God has ordained for us to be closer to Him.
Hallelujah! What sweet reassurance...THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD! There were so many ways
in which my spirit was refreshed and God reminded me that He was leading my life. We will experience those challenges, but when we do, let us not forget who we are and whose we are...the sheep of his pastures, led by the Good Shepherd.
This my heart!
