Advice From A Mule

These past two weeks I withdrew for some much-needed “creative solitude” to contemplate how to best accomplish my musical and financial goals. In the process I rediscovered the joy of starting the day seeking God through reading the Bible and through prayer, and trying to walk in dependence on Him throughout the day. Here’s how it unfolded.
One miserable afternoon I expressed my frustration to God, saying, “I wish you were here standing over my shoulder telling me what to do.” The next morning, King David reminded me in Psalm 32, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.”
Ok, so I’ve been a mule. (I’ve heard there’s another word to describe this.) I had gotten into the bad habit of jumping into workday decisions without asking for His input. A better habit would be to consult the One who programmed this universe in the first place. He knows His way around!
