Devotional: Every Path

From bible.com

For the Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes.
Proverbs 5:21 NLT

Remember when you were a kid, you could be hundreds of yards from the house, but when you did something bad, your mother new about it. You could be surrounded by tress, in a dense forest, and you did something you shouldn't have, mother knew about it. Whether we called that the eyes in the back of her head, or what, mothers knew more of what was going on that they should have. God also knows what bad things you have done.

 It doesn't matter if you try to hide your wrong doings in the darkest of rooms, or miles underground, God will know. God sees so much he can see the path you are headed down to the end of the line. He knows what you will do and when. He knows every possible outcome of your life, even if you don't know what tomorrow will hold.

None of us know the future. We can't tell if we will be hurt tomorrow or if we will be doing the hurting. We are stuck in the here and now. But we can face each day as if we did know. If we are wronged we can forgive them for it because we know God already has. If we do the wronging, we know that God will forgive us, even if the other person won't. We can try and make amends with the knowledge that we are forgiven. 

We should go and face every day as the best we can be, because the best there ever was was sent to forgive our wrongs. We should face each day with strength and courage, it might be our last. We should face each day with the love of God for everyone out there is a child of the Most High.

God, give me the strength to face each day with confidence and love as I follow you down the path of my life.
