Meditation Learn the Lessons September 3, 2014 Remember how our parents scolded us each time we did something wrong? Afterwards, they usually said, “You never learn, do you?” They were right. We kept trying to get away with the same things over and over, taking shortcuts and hoping that, somehow, we might slip one past them. No such luck! They knew if we didn’t do our homework or if we had not cleaned our rooms. We would do a few things and try to cover up the rest of the mess. It would have been much better if we had just listened to them and had done as we were told. We do the same thing when we don’t follow God’s plan. We think that we know the best direction to go even though our spirit is saying, “That’s not the way.” When we don’t listen to God, we head down a path that leads to disappointment and heartache. In order to find peace and joy, you must learn and internalize the lessons from God. He directs your paths and leads you to streams of living waters. He always has a plan for your victory if you follow God’s will and not yours. His word says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6) “Preserve sound judgment and discernment; do not let them out of your sight; they will be life for you.” (Proverbs 3:21-22a) Wouldn’t it be nice if we listened to God instead of trying to do our own thing? We would always live a victorious life. Follow the path to your peace. Louise Manigault. Share Inspirations with your friends.
