A Broken Spirit

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then You know my path.
Psalm 142:3



Disappointment is an unexpected detour in life.  It can leave you with no strength and no will for the journey.  Maybe you're overwhelmed with sadness today.  Maybe you are suffering from a lost love.  Whatever you are going through today, remember that God knows the path you are taking long before you were called to experience it.  You might wonder why God would have us walk through such troubles.  Why does he not allow us to walk the easier path? 

God knows the best path to bring us to completion.  It is during these difficult times when we learn from the experience and grow.  His ways are higher than our ways.  We can humbly take the path God has marked for us and do it in absolute trust in His wisdom and love.  It's comforting to know that during these times, God is with us.  He will not lead us astray.
