Bible Verse of The Day – 2-18-23

Proverbs 16:9 (NKJV) 9 A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.

Sometimes we have to turn back or slow down for things to get better.

I know; no one likes to feel like they are going backwards after taking steps and working so hard to move forward.

But, know that if the occasion arises and we need to pull back, that we shouldn’t refuse it.

I had a dream recently. and in the dream there was a person driving a vehicle.

They were trying to cross a road to get to the other side. As they were doing so, they saw and felt danger up ahead.

As the dream continued, the person driving continued to go forward, instead of turning around or putting the vehicle in reverse and backing up. They stepped on the accelerator and pushed ahead.

They ended up under water and the vehicle tipped upside down. It’s important to note that there were children in the back seat of the vehicle as well.

Thank God this was only a dream.

When I woke up, I realized that if that person had just simply backed up when they saw that there may be danger, they would have saved themselves and others.

Sometimes in life it is hard to go back. But what good is it to go forward if it’s going to hurt us and others?

We need to understand that God will often warn us, and we must pay attention to the signs.

We must train ourselves to pull back at any given moment when He prompts us to, instead of continuing to plow through because of our forward momentum.

God knows what’s best for us.

If this word is for you today, don’t be afraid or feel like a failure if you have to pull back from what you thought you were supposed to do.

Save yourself and others that may be affected by it. Amen.
