These devotions are a part of casting vision to our leaders. I want to do everything I can to help them remember that they are making a difference for the kingdom of God and spreading the love of Jesus effectively. All the while challenging them to stretch in their own walk with Christ.

In all your ways acknowledge
Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:6
Have you ever wondered about
this verse? I have what does it mean to have your paths made straight? The more
I thought about this I started to think about all the choices I have had to
make over the course of my life.
Some were great and some were
well… unwise choices. Thinking about the unwise choices if I would have had
more wisdom in my life, more guidance, perhaps I could have made the wise
choice. Therefor my paths would have been made straight.
Looking at this verse, if I
want to make wise choices I need to go to the one who holds everything, God.
This starts by acknowledging
Him in everything. Sometimes what that means is yielding my will for His will.
Stepping aside and letting God mold me into the person, He sees me becoming.
This is hard. Especially with
all the things of the world asking for my attention and luring me away from
living a life that honors Him.
Friends, this is what we’re
teaching through the love we share with the kids, week in and week out. When we
have the chance to display or communicate how to make choices that honor God,
it will be second nature to us, if we have yielded our will to God on a daily
basis. The kids will catch this. I heard it said more is caught than taught and
that is true.
Hudson Taylor said this: “God
always gives His very best to those who leave the choice with Him.”
