Jerimiah 30:21

"And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left."

Remember high school math class? The few times you actually understood what was going on made it a great experience. Those glimpses of enlightenment almost actually made the whole experience worthwhile, almost.As a high school math teacher, I witness students experiencing this on a regular basis. Despite my animated or theatrical explanations, peer presentations, or countless technological tools, there are times when students just don't get it. This always prompts a one-on-one conversation.

Life can be very similar to math class. Often we are frustrated with a desire to please God but having no clue how to do so. God understood that and thus He gave this promise. Like any good teacher, God is active in your life and is watching you "practice." When you don't know what to do, He is promising to behind your back and gently give proper instruction.

What a blessed thought to know you, as an individual, are worthy of God's undivided attention! What a comfort to know God is standing over you prepared to ensure you are going the right way,doing the right thing. The only question is, Are you listening?
