I sit and ask "Lord, will you lead me?" and instantly he takes me for a walk above the clouds. Standing there I see a city so far below me it is hardly recognizable. Soft fog and whisps of clouds float by. And a beautiful golden path begins to lay out before me. I take a step and it is solid. I take another step and another step. Then the path fades and disappears and what is left before me is an empty sky, the tiny city so far below and the sound of silent wind blowing in my hair.
And I hear...
"Take your next step."
"But there's no path, Lord." I say.
"You asked me to lead you...and I'm asking you to trust me." he replies.
"Take your next step."
"But there's no path, Lord." I say.
"You asked me to lead you...and I'm asking you to trust me." he replies.
So I take a hesitant step and an invisible path shimmers under me. And I realize that shimmer was always there but I failed to see it when I saw my situation through my own eyes. When I was focused on the fall, and the downward spiral of the what-ifs. When I saw the impossible instead of the all possible.
Will you take that step when there appears to be no solid path? Will you trust Him when you can't see? Will you put down your own interpretation and open your heart to him? Will you believe for the impossible because God makes ALL things possible?!
Friends, no matter what we see or don't see, He will never leave us without a path. Trust Him.
"We fix our eyes not on what is seen but what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18
