What does an angel look like? Do they have wings, play a harp, and stand on a cloud all day? Did someone you did not know give you a hand when you really needed it, calmed you in a tense moment, or even gave you directions when you were lost and frustrated? The Lord tells us in Hebrews that sometimes when we think we are with a stranger, we may be actually in the presence of an angel sent by the Lord!

There are times in our lives in which we feel we will be overtaken by the evil of this world and the responsibilities that surround us, and ultimately swallowed up by the storms of life. But, do not fear or be dismayed, no matter how violent the storm, our God is with us! He will strengthen us and help us through all the violent storms!

In all your ways submit to Him,

and He will make your paths straight.

Part of planting is making sure you have straight rows. This ensures we keep our garden rows uniform and easy to get into when needed without destroying plants. In our lives we also desire straight paths. Not paths that are crooked and will lead to troubled times. How is this accomplished for the farmer during planting? Keeping your eyes straight ahead (not looking back!). How is this accomplished in our lives? Keep your eyes and your ways focused on Lord Jesus and He will make your paths straight. Keep your eyes straight upon Jesus! Submit to Lord Jesus when you hear His still small voice. Submit to the Lord Jesus when you read His Word. This is what makes our path’s straight in our lives.
