God is ever working inwards our lives.
He has amount cognition of our hearts in addition to our circumstances, in addition to sometimes He delays or detours our plans for skilful reasons.
This is an fantabulous illustration from Scripture:
"When Pharaoh allow the people go, God did non Pb them on the route through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, 'If they aspect upwards war, they mightiness alter their minds in addition to supply to Egypt.'" Exodus 13:17
God didn’t direct maintain them on the straight route because they weren’t cook for it.
Likewise, God knows virtually dangers in addition to distractions inwards our path that volition foreclose us from fulfilling His purposes (Ephesians 2:10).
Are y'all wandering in addition to wondering why your path is long in addition to indirect? Does it appear similar you're wasting your time?
If you’ve been obedient to Christ, I encourage y'all to move along walking. He has skilful reasons for His detours in addition to delays (Psalm 32:8).
