A Path

Clearing a path and forging ahead.  Sometimes, the things in the way are there because of my own simple laziness.  Old and tired, I don't take the energy to move the debris off the path laid out before me and move forward toward Him.  Prideful, I don't ask for help, even from the One who promises and never lies.  I look at the work that must be done and feel overwhelmed before I've even begun.  And so the debris accumulates....

At times, the path to God seems so simple.  It's those times, the simple times, when I've fixed my eyes on Him alone and allowed everything else to work itself out.  And it always does. 

At times the path to God is confusing.  Am I doing this right?  Am I doing that wrong?  It's those times, those complicated times, when I've fixed my eyes on the circumstances, waiting for them to disappear, forgetting that it's not the lack of hard circumstances that make the path clear, but inviting Him on the journey with me.

It seems like we are going through the same spiritual journey-just different paths and problems.
