" Right or left...which way God?"

Seeking direction from God should be second nature to us, however, many times I push quickly ahead without even consulting Him.  The scripture reminds us in Isaiah to look to the right and to the left; you will hear a voice instructing you which way to go!  Oh how I need to remember this each and every day as I make small and large decsions.  I have been studying Jonah and being reminded of his struggle to 'go his own way'.  We know where that landed him, don't we?  We're reminded that he began in Joppa and ended up 'back' in Joppa after the big fish spit him out!  He just did a full circle tour to learn that God gave him the directions that HE wanted him to take.  His disobedience costed him some pretty interesting experiences that I am sure he never forgot!  My prayer is to seek God and to listen for His direction...following through with obedience so that He doesn't have to cause life interruptions and bring me back to Joppa!!
