Today I saw a picture of a bow such as created when a shoe lace has been tied. We know that pulling either of the loose ends will release the bow and, conversely, pulling either of the loops will tighten the bow. Are we tightening our hold on routine actions and procedures that are no longer relevant or necessary? Let's follow God's directives in our lives even though they may unsettle our predictable status quo and comfort zones. Maybe it is time to loosen our control on what we want to do and let God lead? Remember, we are cautioned in Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding".
