I Wonder Why I Wander

Why did the deer cross the road? Because they didn’t have anything better to do! Where are they going? All these deer I keep seeing seem to be wandering. Every morning they are there… sometimes in a slightly different location. They are always moving. I wonder if they just wait around for someone to drive by and say, “Let’s go meander in the road and see what they do.” Really their lives seem pointless…day after day… eat some of this… walk the same path as yesterday… eat some of that… you get the picture.

As I puzzle over those pedantic deer I look back at my map to see where the next delivery is and it hits me. I go around in circles… every day! Round and round I go. Paper tube here…. Wander around… paper tube there… wander some more… same thing tomorrow. Do the deer see me and think, “What does that guy do anyway? He’s always out here wandering around getting in our way. I think He’s trying to hit us. Stupid Human!”

 

Now for the spiritual angle. I don’t want to wander so to speak in my walk with God. I want God to give me purpose and direction. Please, Lord, don’t lead me around in circles.

The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when he delights in his way - Psalm 37:23 (ESV)
