Directing My Steps

b'God is infinitely wise. Romans 11:33 says, \\u201cOh, the depth of the riches of\\nthe wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his\\npaths beyond tracing out!\\u201d The riches of God\\u2019s wisdom are so deep. He sees\\nthe end from the beginning, and His purposes will never be shaken (Isaiah\\n46:10).\\n.\\nI got a glimpse of God\\u2019s wisdom recently when I reflected on how He has\\nguided my career path. In high school, my dream was to become a lawyer.\\nSo for my university studies, I applied for law as my first choice and then\\neducation as my second choice. To my disappointment, I was accepted for\\neducation and not law. My dreams were shattered.\\n.\\nBut years later, when I was living in a foreign land, I realized my\\nprofession fit with my life even in a different part of the world. Since I\\nwas a foreigner, it was not possible for me to work as a lawyer, but I\\ncould work as a teacher\\u2014and I did. Proverbs 20:24 says, \\u201cA person\\u2019s steps\\nare directed by the Lord.\\u201d I came to see God\\u2019s wisdom in directing my steps\\ntoward a career as a teacher.\\n.\\nNow, I ask God to lead me in making all kinds of decisions. In Matthew\\n7:24, Jesus said everyone who hears His words \\u201cand puts them into practice\\nis like a wise man who built his house on the rock.\\u201d As we build our lives,\\nJesus is the only solid foundation. His love for us is sure, and we can\\ntrust Him to guide us. Even when we make plans and those plans fail, He\\nsits beside us in our disappointment and shares in our sadness. Through\\neverything we face, He invites us to follow Him and rely on His\\nfaithfulness as He continues to direct our path. \\u2022 Enid Adah Nyinomujuni\\n.\\n\\u2022 Have you ever seen God use disappointing circumstances for good in your\\nlife? Consider taking a moment to thank Him for this.\\n.\\n\\u2022 How does knowing Jesus make it possible for us to have hope even when it\\nseems like our dreams have been shattered?\\n.\\nTo the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ!
