I’m preparing myself, anticipating as I approach this same intersection in the roads again - and this time, I must remember that I’m supposed to take the other path. Not the same old road that I always walk knowing there lies ahead a pit and always falling into it, then leading me again on a roundabout! Not somewhere further…

That I walk with intention, with grace and courage on the other path and not walk once again with habit (bad habit mind you).

Am I afraid? Yes… Definitely. Pretty scared… Because I’ve said it many times, that I would not fall in that same pit; that I would not stay in there so long; that I will avoid it when I pass it by (I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE IT IS!) - but nevertheless, I’ve fell in many many times and then always I would say to God, ‘Lord, it’s me again…’

No, but this time it shall be different. AND I DECLARE IT MUST BE! I must venture further though uncertainty would accompany me like a close friend. 

Lord, that I hold tight to Your hand this time. Hold me close, that I walk with You, following after You and we’ll take the other path together. Uncertainty would mean nothing because You will have all of my attention. I wouldn’t even remember uncertainty’s presence.

Maybe I wouldn’t even see the intersection this time and I wouldn’t know we’ve passed it till You tell me…

My eyes shall be solely fixed upon You as You lead me along. You only know where the other path goes and I’m sure there’s gonna be much adventure involved.

Yes. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
