His path for our lives will produce patience, persistence and prosperity

When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, "If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt." So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea. The Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle. Exodus 13:17-18 NIV

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line; no one likes to take “The Long Way Around” to get to a destination. With Christ, “Every road traveled, each experience, trials and all, has purpose. Even on the most winding path, we can have faith that God has a destination in mind, and He will make sure we get there”, as written in today’s devotional. Let us enjoy our journey, for the stops, starts, pauses, and obstacles all play a role in our development and appreciation for where we are headed in life.

Reflection from Let’s Read the Bible Together (Jeremiah 1, Jeremiah, 2, & Jeremiah 3)

“Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.”Jeremiah‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Isaiah 6:8

Let us always have a willingness to go forth and do the will of God.🙏🏽💚🦋🌈

His path for our lives will produce patience, persistence and prosperity, my friend.
