“Those who have reverence for the LORD will learn from Him the path they should follow.” Psalm 25:12 GNT

I am trying to figure out how to say this. I know it may sound silly… but not NEAR as silly as the Jeremiah 13 story of the loincloth! I was very busy yesterday… doing what I do. An email request came for some help, then a phone call to talk, then another for help, then a couple call outs to set appointments, then a pleasant conversation with an unknown person that ended with clarifying how God works. LOTS of God things came to me in an orderly fashion! Let’s just call them sequenced sequins! See? I told you it’d be silly!

While reading the 25th Psalm, this verse jumped out at me. As my dad used to say, there is NO principle of God that stands on only 1 verse. If I ever argued about the Bible with him, he required at least THREE verses to prove my point. This verse is a sister verse to Proverbs 3:5-6 and it talks about how God directs the steps of someone if that someone is paying attention to directions! It is both a ‘FACT’ and a ‘DIRECTIVE.’

To DISCOVER a Truth to be true, one has to ACCEPT it and then personally APPLY it. There is a lot of hit and miss and trial and error in application. But over the years I have discovered that when I live my life according to the way God proclaims in the Bible, and then start my day off dedicating it to Him… asking for His guidance…He will guide me. But only IF I pay attention! Like I said, it is a practiced art! Yesterday morning was just like that as one by one, I was being led from one thing to another. I was busy… but not CRAZED!

The sequence of yesterday’s events was too perfect to be accidental. I WAS paying attention and it seemed that God was shining all over the place. Which is what made me think of ‘sequins!’ Yea… YOU ought to try living in my head! In EVERY situation, there was opportunity to talk about God and His Word. And in every listening ear, there was opportunity to HEAR and APPLY it. Some did … some didn’t! Which brings me back to sequins!

While Jesus was on earth He called Himself THE Light of the world.’(John 8). Elsewhere, He told a group of people that THEY were the Light of the world! (Matthew 5). It doesn’t take a brainiac to figure out that ‘I’ am a light to the world ONLY IF I reflect HIS light! Sometimes that light is received.. other times it is refused. But the shine’s reflection reception is not up to me! I am only one half of the sequence!

As Believers in Christ we are told to Go and tell! Not Go and convince or demand. Too often I have seen no result from my obedience and think that I have done a poor job. But if I have asked to shine for Him.. and I DO…the reflection reception is NOT up to me! He only promises to sequence my sequins. And I know that sounds silly… but it is Truth!
