There is a story of a Scottish woman who earned a modest
living by peddling her wares along the roads of her country. Each day she would
travel about, and when she came to an intersection, she would toss a stick in
the air. Whichever way the stick was pointed was the way she went. On one
occasion an old man stood across the road from her as she tossed the stick into
the air once, twice, three times. Finally the old man asked, “Why are you
throwing that stick like that?”
I’m letting God show me which way to go by using this
stick,” She said.
“Then why did you throw it three times?” the old man
asked.
“Because the first two times, He was pointing me in the
wrong direction,” was her reply
I pray that I trust the sovereignty of God in every
circumstances and that I will follow his leading unquestionably.
Psalm 139: 23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me,
and know my anxieties; 24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me
in the way everlasting.
