In a conversation with a friend he noted something that's stuck with me.
He said:
"You may not know where God is taking you, but you can always be sure He's with you wherever you're going."
A lot of wisdom in those words...
Who doesn't want clarity about their future!
And, don't we all want to know what destination lies at the end of the trials we face?
But God doesn't show us everything ahead.
Yet He assures us that no matter what's coming, He will be with us.
And that assurance alone is meant to keep us focused and faithful when it comes to what He's given us to do today.
"The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you. He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed" (Dt. 31:8).
