Staying in Our Own Lane
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.- Ps. 37:23
Staying in our own lane can be challenging. When we drive on a highway, we often see others moving at different speeds—some too fast, some too slow. Others may not pay full attention to the road or the vehicles around them. The moment another driver tries to move us out of our place, the battle begins. For example, another car may drive too closely behind us, pressuring us to move. The more we ignore them, the closer they follow. This scenario is quite similar to the pressures we face in life.
Pressures and distractions come to move us out of position, tempting us to react in frustration or anger. But by the grace of God, we learn not to react in the flesh. Instead, we allow God to use these moments to strengthen our boundaries. The Lord helps us remain steadfast as we keep our eyes on Him and follow His instructions. By focusing on the path God has set before us, we can trust and praise Him for both the journey and the destination.
Sometimes, we become too focused on other people’s lanes instead of our own. Perhaps their lanes seem more attractive, and we begin to desire their journey more than ours. Or maybe we help others while neglecting our own space, eventually feeling resentment. But the Lord calls us to enjoy the unique path He has prepared for each of us.
Let’s embrace our glorious ride, trusting that He is guiding us, from glory to glory!
