ASK DIRECTIONS

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.(6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.


Some people don't like to ask directions and some people don't like to give directions. If you are on a trip and looking for some place explicit you are more likely to find it if you ask directions. When you ask directions you are better off if a person will just admit they don't know either than if they just act like they know where the place you are looking for is.
I once read of a man who stopped and asked a farmer "How far is it to (a certain city)?" The farmer looked at him and said, "In the direction your going I'd say about 25,000 miles." He was just like we are sometimes, going in the wrong direction."
Directions are not that hard now with the OnStar and other GPS instruments that you can put in a vehicle. You can just put in the destination and it gives you step by step directions.
In our spiritual walk we sometimes get turned around and are going completely in the wrong direction, or almost as bad we wander aimlessly. That is when we need to stop and ask directions. God knows when we are wandering and he will let us know by convicting us with His Spirit but when He does I believe He wants us to stop and ask Him for directions. He wants to direct our path.
