A-Mazed
Ecclesiastes 7:13
Have you ever been in a maze—the real kind //that’s made out of hedges and paths?
There’s one at a palace in England called Chatsworth House.
It is a very complicated maze.
Every hedge is the same height
/so there are no identifying features to help you even go back /the way () you went in.
It could be frightening /to get into a maze and not be able to find your way out.
Life is like that /sometimes.
We find ourselves in situations //where we don’t know [where to turn], and when we do make a choice /of which way to go, it ends up /being the wrong way.
It’s scary [when our situation gets worse and worse].
But there is someone //who knows every turn, every path of our life.
Jesus is that someone, and he came /to guide us through life.
When you are confused and don’t know [which way to turn or which decision is best],
you can rely on Jesus to lead you.
Isn’t a relief to know () you don’t have to make decisions on your own?
Ask for his guidance and wait patiently for him to show you the way out of your problems.
Dear Lord, Sometimes I really get mixed up /when I’m trying to make decisions about my life.
Please guide me and help me to listen for your voice /telling me the right way to go.
Amen.
