“When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”

That’s Yogi Berra. Yogi proves himself to be a great theologian here! People worry about “doing God’s will” – should they take this fork in the road or that one? Kind of like the old The Price is Right – God’s will is hiding behind either Door #1, Door #2, or Door #3.

Here’s the ding dang thing: God is on both forks and behind all 3 doors.

“Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.” (Psalm 139:7-10)

So, basically, chill out. You’re okay – His right hand shall hold you no matter what.

“Most loving Father, whose will it is for us to give thanks for all things, to fear nothing but the loss of you, and to cast all our care on you who care for us: Preserve us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, that no clouds of this mortal life may hide from us the light of that love which is immortal, and which you have manifested to us in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.”
