Sometimes the path of life seems impossibly steep and lengthy. I have no
strength and no will for the journey. Then I remember God knew this path long
before I was called to walk it. He has always known the difficulties I would
experience, the pain that I could never explain to another. He knows and offers
His presence.
Perhaps you’re overwhelmed with sadness today. It may be the weight of a
difficult ministry; the worry of a hard marriage; the sorrow of a struggling
child; the care of an aging parent; other troubles that come with life.
“Surely,” you say, “God would not have me walk this way. There must be another,
easier path for me to travel.”
But are any of us wise enough to know that some other way would make us
into better and wiser children? No, our Father in heaven knows the best path,
out of all possible paths, to bring us to completion (Ps. 142:3).
His ways are higher than our ways; His thoughts higher than our thoughts
(Isa. 55:9). We can humbly take the path He has marked out for us today, and do
so in absolute trust in His infinite wisdom and love. He is wiser and more
loving than we can ever know. He who sees has foreseen and will not lead us
astray.
God will never lead you down a wrong path. (RBC)
