In Good Hands

For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the LORD, and He watches all his paths.  Proverbs 5:21 (NASB)

• We are all designed by God, after God, and are meant to take after his ways. He created us in His image, which to me means that He is our Father and passes us down His traits. Traits of love, compassion, fairness, forgiveness, and anything that is good in the world. 
  
• God watches our paths, watches over us and guides us, but yet He gives us our own free will to take paths of righteousness or not. God gives us this free will so that to follow Him is a choice that we make, not a programmed, automatic response. This way, God will have followers that willfully devote themselves to Him, not robots or machines that have no other choice but to do what they are programmed to do!
  
• Good or bad, God knows all of the choices we make, the deeds we perform, even what we think of doing or saying. There's no hiding from the LORD.
  
• May we always take the paths that lead to God, and make the choices that find favor in His eyes!
  

Dear LORD, thank You for giving us the capacity to think for ourselves, and I pray for the wisdom to see paths that lead to You and courage to take those paths. May I also be able to guide others that walk on worldly paths to walk on paths that lead to You, oh LORD. It is always a privilege to serve You, God, and what a blessing and most awesome gift You have given this world in Your Son, Jesus Christ. ~Amen
