Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. —Psalm 119:105Isn't that it. We desperately desire to see what's ahead in our life. We want to know. We are so impatient in this journey. Don't we know best?
I’ve always thought that I could get through just about anything if the Lord would tell me what the outcome would be. I believe that “all things work together for good” in the end (Rom. 8:28), but I’d do a lot better in dark times if I knew exactly what the “good” would look like.
But God usually doesn’t show us where He is taking us. He just asks us to trust Him. It’s like driving a car at night. Our headlights never shine all the way to our destination; they illuminate only about 160 feet ahead. But that doesn’t deter us from moving forward. We trust our headlights. All we really need is enough light to keep moving forward.
Yet, while driving an automobile in the dark we only are able to see some hundred feet in front of us in the dark, yet we are totally cool with that...
Doesn't quite add up when you stop and think about it.
If we focus on the Word to be our guide, our path will always be bright and our feet will not stumble.
Lord, may this be so for me today...
Still counting... (and, just so you know, it's not about the number and all about HIM)
