As a child I used to wade through ponds and creeks in the woods frequently. Many times when I first came upon them they would have a lot of clarity as they had not been disturbed by anyone or anything, but as I started wading, the sediment was disturbed and at times made the water very murky. Well being the North Carolina boy I was, I knew that there could be many Snappin’ Turtles and possibly an alligator or two lurking around. I would start getting freaked out and would try to find the closest “out” to my problem and sometimes that would mean walking in even deeper water and getting in a worst situation.
Life can be like this at times. You are in situations that look pretty clear, and BOOM!, either you, someone else, something, or even God at times will start disturbing the situation. Instead of listening fully to God, we think we have the right direction to move to and then realize that it doesn’t exactly work out either. Life and direction becomes a bit Murky to say the least. Transition is difficult at times. We sometimes have to stop, focus, and “Let it settle” before we begin to move. You have to move though, you have no choice, so let God bring clarity to your steps.
