Road to Salo, Lake Garda by Paul Collings
Proverbs 3:6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
No doubt we have all as children walk along a wall or even a tight rope and had the instruction look straight ahead and pin point your eyes on a mark dead ahead of you in order to maintain your balance. So it is true in the Christian way of life. When the eyes of our heart are focused on the Lord Jesus Christ, in love, and all we desire is to know Him more, and to please Him in everything we do, then it matters not which path you take, for He will be there leading you, and He will be there guiding you, no matter what path you choose.
This simple truth is written clearly in Proverbs 3:6, To acknowledge the Lord is to know Him and to have intimate fellowship with Him. It is to trust what He says, believe His Word and obey what He commands us to do. It is to abide in Him and depend upon Him alone. It is to walk in spirit and truth, to grow in grace, to be ready to listen to His guiding voice and to follow His lead.
According to Timothy Keller, Jesus says, "I want you to follow me so fully, so intensely, so enduringly that all other attachments in your life look weak by comparison"
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full, in his wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of his glory and grace. Amen
