“O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps” (Jeremiah 10:23).
This verse was written more than 2,500 years ago, yet it is just as true today. Naturally we tend to think that we can find our own way, but this verse clearly tells us that we do not have the wisdom to do this. We will be like someone in an unfamiliar place; without a guide we will get lost. Man cannot do without his Creator, and as Christians we cannot walk before the Lord without His help. This again drives us back to God’s Word, and to prayer. Prayer expresses our dependence on the Lord, and looks to Him to show us the right way. It may not always be the easiest way, for God has not promised us an easy road. However, in the pathway He chooses, we will have His company. Walking a difficult pathway is worth it, if He is with us! It is better to go on a difficult path in good company, than to have an easier path without Him!
