Following the Path

Isn't it wonderful when a bible verse that you've known for years suddenly speaks to you in a new way?  That happened to me this morning. I've written a few posts recently about my favorite bible verse:
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.   Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
 I've known this verse for  years and have relied on it for encouragement countless times.  Yet this morning it spoke to me in a new way.  I was asking God to direct my path today, when I realized that I need only to be on God's path.  I don't need to know the destination.  I too often want to know where this path is going.  What is the destination?  Or more often,  I want to choose my destination and let God create my path.  But today I realized I need to just be on God's path, seek his guidance and trust in the destination.   I just need to take one step at a time on His path.  I'm sure the destination will be better and more abundant than I could ever imagine.
