A Faith Journey

A family was heading on vacation: two little ones were nestled in car seats; the van was packed.  As Dad locked the house and Mom secured the garage, an adult neighbor the kids knew walked up and spoke through an open window. “Where are you going?” The kids shrugged.  “Well, what road are you taking?” the friend asked with a knowing smile.  Of course, they had no idea.  “Do you know where you’ll eat today, or where you’ll spend the night?”  Blank stares.  Then the friend asked, “Who are you traveling with?”  The children broke into grins and shouted, “Mommy and Daddy!”

On the journey of faith, we don’t know precisely where we’re headed or how all our needs will be met.  But we know who we’re traveling with: our loving God who is fully aware of the twists and turns ahead.  He is our loving parent who promises to care for us wherever we go.   May we submit and say to Him, “lead me, Lord; I will follow.”

 Show me Your ways, LORD, teach me Your paths; guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long. Psalm 25:4-5
