February 20 ~ Jeremiah 42:2-3
"Please pray to the LORD your God for us. Judah used to have many people, but as you can see, only a few of us are left. Ask the LORD to tell us where he wants us to go and what he wants us to do."

Have you heard about the couple who used GPS to navigate on their trip and ended up going the wrong way and ultimately getting stuck in a snow bank? Thankfully, their family members used the same GPS software to locate them and provide rescue. But how often do we trust the wrong navigation in our lives and end up in much the same position, so to speak? How often do we listen to the wrong influences… or take bad advice… and we end up doing down the wrong road?
When we don’t include God in our plans… and when our plans don’t include genuine prayer… we often end up in the ditches of life. We need to ask God to tell us where He wants us to go and what HE wants us to do. And then we need to listen to His answers and trust them. Sometimes they are not what we wanted to hear… and that’s when we especially need to pay attention!
Ask God where you should go and what you should do. Trust His wisdom, and follow His lead. Don’t end up in the ditch or in a snow bank, waiting to be rescued. Keep communicating with God, and stay on course.
