Isaiah 42:16  ¹⁶ I will lead the blind by a road they do not know, by paths they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I will do, and I will not forsake them.

There are times in our lives when we don’t know where our life is heading. We feel like we are in the dark and walking blind. We see no way forward and cannot plan for the future. There are just too many unknowns that could affect our ability to move ahead. We are in a holding pattern. We become anxious and fearful of what we do not know.

If we put our trust in the Lord we will see that God has been active in the waiting times. God is putting things in place for us to move forward. He is removing obstacles, providing assistance, and smoothing the path we are to take.

We may not know where we are headed but God does. God is there guiding our steps and leading us in the way we should go. Do not be afraid. Put your hand into his and let God lead you forward. He will always be there for you.

Lord, when the way is dark, be our light; when the path is uncertain, be our guide. Help us to put our trust in you. Amen.
