Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with deep longing:

“…at that time I told you everything you were to do.”
(Deuteronomy 1:18)

That sounds so good, Jesus –

especially because so much of the time I don’t know what to do!

But let me take this a little deeper than being told how to accomplish some task:

Do You want to tell me everything to do
all the time
about literally everything?

Is that what it means to walk moment-by-moment with You?

Or are there times when you’d like me to

read Your Word
pray
get Godly advice
pray some more

and basically…try to figure it out?

I know You love it when Your children totally obey You.

I’m all over that.
That’s what I want, too.

But in the same way an earthly dad develops maturity in his kids
by refusing to micromanage their every move…

are there times when You do the same with me?
