On the Other Side of the Unknown...He is There

When we headed home from Tulsa a couple of weeks ago, my mind was racing in a hundred different ways, trying to figure out things for my Dad...wondering what is the next step for him. 

But what if we can’t see the next step? 

What then? 

Well, we trust God to show us. 

The Bible tells us that God’s Word is “a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” 

He will light our way...but He doesn’t always light up the WHOLE way from the very beginning. 

A flashlight will light your path, when you’re on a trail, but it doesn’t light up the WHOLE path all at once. It doesn’t show you what’s around the corner, or how steep the hill is, or if there are things ahead that might trip you up. 

No, it lights your next step...and you take it..and then it lights the step after that. 

Running ahead of God can cause you to stumble. You can go the wrong way. You can get lost in the dark. Just like running ahead of the light on a trail can cause you to stumble, get hurt, or get lost. 

Today, we are unsure of the path before us, but we are holding tight to the hand of the One who holds our future. 

On the other side of the unknown...He is there.

"When I am filled with cares, Your comfort brings me joy." Psalm 94:19
