Scott, "Take my hand."
I did not ask where we were going or what we were doing.
I just took it and let him lead.
(In previous years I would have asked 'why', or 'where' are we going?)
But I was learning to trust.
Carefully he guided me over jagged rocks, then a couple of feet onto the beach.
Scott, "now we can say we walked on the beach".
It was a simple thing.
When I thought back about that, and realized how much that is like our walk with God.
He stretches out His hand to us.
We start out unsure, not fully trusting maybe.....
Wanting to know the 'why' and the 'where', or for 'how' long.
He wants us to take his hand, trust Him, let Him lead us.
Maybe it is just a few steps over jagged terrain,
or maybe a longer walk and more difficult journey.
No questions, just taking his hand and trusting him.
We do not learn that over night, and He understands that.
So, where are you today?
Is He reaching out?
Are you asking "Why"?
Or "Where"?
or "How long"?
Or will we simply take His hand,
and trust that He will lead us in a safe path.
He promises to never leave us or forsake us,
and He promises to take care of His children.
Thank you Lord.
Be Blessed everyone
Barb
