October 4

But I’ll take the hand of those who don’t know the way, who can’t see where they’re going.  I’ll be a personal guide to them, directing them through unknown country. I’ll be right there to show them what roads to take, make sure they don’t fall into the ditch. These are the things I’ll be doing for them—sticking with them, not leaving them for a minute”. Isaiah 42:15-16 ( MSG)

Tangled-up circumstance and situations and a fair amount of trouble at times, can find their way to us, as we travel this road of life—most especially when we don’t know where we are going and we don’t know the way. The good news is we can experience life with our Beloved Jesus, Who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life! He knows intricately the fullness of life God intended for us and He alone can bring it to pass.

No matter the messes or the missteps—God’s miracles in our midst can get us back on track and help us to regain the ground we feel has been lost. Help is at the ready, each and every day—only one prayer, one heartbeat away! 

God Himself has promised to be your Guide, not just telling you where to go, but walking the road with you. What glorious news this is, beloved! He has mapped out a path; filled it with good things; gone ahead of you to prepare the way; then came back to walk with you, step by joy-filled step!

Dear heart, you were never meant to journey alone. No wonder the ditches and disasters were there. You just didn’t know where you were going, walking at times in the limited light you had—but know, redeemed one—Jesus is the Light and the Way! It all gets better from here.

Put your hand in His and remember—you are not alone. The One Who formed you in His heart of love, knows exactly what to do. Love leads. One step at a time; all of the time. 

Lean in, cherished one. I promise you—love will always see you through. 

Prayer:

So many days Lord, I feel I have walked alone. And I confess, on those lonely roads, I have made some mistakes—many mistakes—that took me away from Your best and not towards it.

Thank You for Your extravagant grace that would take my hand, even today, and lead me in the paths You have prepared—the paths of light, and life, and truth.

I receive that today Poppa, and I thank You, with all of my heart, that it could be so.

With joyful expectation, I pray.
