Tickle Bugs

On my walk that I take, there is a neighborhood that I have dubbed "Tickle Bug Hill".
I found the name to be fitting, because all along the skinny sidewalk that encompasses these lovely homes are cute little tickle bugs.
Oh you know, the little bugs that resemble mini gray buses. Well, as I try to side step these buggers (probably looking quite strange to any on-lookers), I notice these poor little guys feverishly trying to get from one side of the walk to the other.
As I studied further, I also noticed they had no plan in their travels, no set route. Some sadly ended up flipped over with all a million legs moving in the air.
Watching this chaotic scene, I was reminded of a time before I surrendered my life to the Lord, how I must have looked like these little tickle bugs; hurried, maybe even busy- but going nowhere - no set course, no real reasons-only swayed by the thought of something better around the corner. Never satisfied.
While proceeding with my walk, and leaving those tiny confused bugs behind, the Lord gently encouraged me that even in my Christian walk, I must desperately keep Him my purpose, my compass, my goal. To continue to allow the Lord to set my course and in faith yield to His direction. His GPS is the best!
Hebrews 12:1 & 2......and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
