Stuck and unstuck


Last week I was caught in a tight spot, a decision without an obvious right or wrong.  I was stuck.
This way... or that?

And as in the past,
     wallowing in the miry bog,
that sticky place where the world says,
                      "Despair!"
    God says,
              "Follow Me!"

What do I do?

Do something.

Take one step.  And God will reveal the next.

I waited patiently for the LORD;
He inclined to me and heard my cry.
He drew me up from the desolate pit,
              out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
       making my steps secure.

                          Psalm 40. 1-2
