This Palm Sunday morn, I went to the earliest service I could find where I knew the Passion would be read. I just needed Scripture to penetrate my being.
My life since childhood has been under “can’t be missed or dismissed signs” from God that have always led to His direction and purpose for my life as His child. My boldness to openly declare God is not courage but, rather, the reality He shows me in seemingly unbelievable manifestations. As God guides my course, not all is immediately clear. I merely know HE IS in the fog, and the fog will clear in HIS will, way and timing.
Too many times to count, the headline of my life’s journey is best described by “you can’t make this stuff up”. Once more, the present bears this label. As I ponder what is the present, I am clearly feeling the word “present” is not only solely defined as “current” but, more importantly, souly defined as “gift”.
My head longs to pinpoint the bottom line of understanding, but my heart and soul comprehend that wisdom comes from the top of God’s planning, not the bottom of man’s figuring. As I begin a week commemorating God’s greatest miracle for all of humanity (as well as one given personally to me 38 years ago), I’m not buckling my seatbelt but, rather, releasing all fear and doubt that might prevent God from guiding, guarding and blessing HIS Hand on, and in, my life.
Possibly, you might, also, find your journey in similar fogged in atmosphere as mine. If so, I honestly know and admit that my personal words are of no avail. However, God’s Word never fails nor leaves us undirected. To each and all, who currently are surrounded in fog and seeking to lift the mist, may your sight be laser beamed on Proverbs 3:5-6. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths”.
