Where there is no guidance, a nation falls, but in an abundance of counselors
there is safety.
I wish God's voice were that easy to distinguish. I would
like to hear it boom out every time I'm about to goof. But that
is not the way life works. We walk by faith--praying each step of
the way for God's guidance.
(Proverbs 11.14
NRSV)
There is a story about the young man who went ice
fishing for the first time in his life. He arrived with all his
equipment and began to cut a circle in the ice. Suddenly he
heard a deep voice say, somberly, "Don't cut that ice." The
young man stopped, looked around, didn't see anyone, so he moved
to a different part of the ice and started to drill another
circle. Again the deep voice from nowhere announced, "Don't cut
that ice." Finally the young man yelled, "All right, what's
going on here? What are you bothering me for. Just who the heck
do you think you are anyway?" To which the mystery voice
replied, "I'm manager of the skating rink!"
Dear God, thank you for the wonderful guidance you have given to me. Amen.
