Sometimes God Leads Us Backwards
Have you ever felt like God led you somewhere only to find out that you needed to retrace your steps? That’s difficult for a goal-driven person, such as myself. But sometimes God leads you to somewhere, in order to lead you backwards. But going backwards feels like failure. It feels like you’ve been abandoned by God. Didn’t you lead me here God? What? Why God are you now leading that direction? I thought we were going this way? Didn’t we just come from there?
But for God the closest distance between two points is not a straight line. The closest distance zigs and zags. Sometimes it goes one direction and then goes back exactly the same way it came. The closest distance between two points is a straight line as long as you don’t add another dimension or two. Just ask Einstein. God’s limitations are not ours. God’s vantage point dictates a better way then a straight line. His path is the shortest distance to eternal life.
Trust him. He knows what he is doing.
