Recently we made a quick trip up to the cottage and because of wacky scheduling we didn’t end up arriving until well after dark. It is never my preference to drive up those hilly, country roads at night. It is just so much darker up there!

The headlights on our vehicle are good but it only illuminates between 90-150m in front of the car and only 50 m of road surface (so says Google). That’s okay, but it is doesn’t light the entire path.

And isn’t that so much like God? God doesn’t reveal the entire path. In fact God doesn’t reveal a year or decade, much less the masterplan—but what God gives us is enough light to take the next few steps. By faith, this is how we learn to follow Jesus, intimately. It is day by day, step by step.

If you are feeling you need direction in your life one of the best things you can do is open your bible (or your bible app) and pray, “Jesus…shine your light on my path. Show me how you are leading me. What are the truths I need right now?”

Scripture says, “Your word is a lamp for my feet.” Look to God’s word because whatever you are going through, whatever you need…it’s in there!

My prayer for you is that God will give you the scriptures, and the teaching, and the words, that you need right now to shine light on your path. As God does that our response is to follow God, intimately.

God’s word is a lamp for your feet and a light on your path. As you walk with God, step by step, God will lead your life.
