Our commitment and faith are tested when our desires must be abandoned in pursuit of God’s call. - Misdirected Precision
The frequently taken paths are well-worn and easy to follow. The road less traveled is harder to discern. Tall grass and overgrown branches camouflage the path of humility and self-sacrifice. - He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not
Even mature believers can find themselves resisting that still small voice when we don’t like the direction we are receiving.

Scripture Spotlight
“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord. He alone is my refuge, my place of safety: he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.”
—Psalm 91:1-4
