Finding Your Way

"Desire without knowledge is not good--how much more will hasty feet miss the way!"- Proverbs 19:2 (NIV).

Quick: Whose slogan is "Have it your way?" They did away with their 40-year old slogan, May 19, 2014, and launched a new slogan: "Be Your Way." Their revenue is projected to be $250 billion by 2020. Last year, Burger King was the most valuable fast food brand worldwide. Today's Scripture might be overlooked as simple, but it is profound when fleshed out. It espouses the benefits of seeking wisdom and patiently trusting Jesus. We are a generation of wanting the "easy" and the "immediate," like a fast food drive through, but we forfeit desires and lose our way. We will never "Be Our Way." Our desires can only be found in taking delight in the Lord (Psalm 37:4). Our way is assured only when we commit it to the Lord, trusting Him (Psalm 37:5). All of life is centered around Jesus. That's worth repeating: All of life is centered around Jesus. He told us, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6).  Jesus is not a fast food drive through. Delight yourself in the Lord and commit your way to Him, then you will have the desires of your heart and will not lose your way. Your way is found only in Jesus.
