Holding Hands

"If the Lord delights in a man's way,
he makes his steps firm;
though he stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
I was young and now I am old,
yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread."
--Psalm 37:23-25

Today I woke up too late to attend my regular church, but without doubt God wanted me at Mosaic. The message was about my greatest fear: the future. I've always had a "plan" for everything. Right now God has taken everything except for His Word and His hand. I've realized that when He holds my hand the tightest is when He's leading me through the dark. Right now, I'm applying for Journeyman, but I don't really know what is going to happen. I don't know when or where or even how. I just know what He's asked of me. Then I think if I do go, it's for 2 years. What happens when I come back? I go through these bouts of doubt. He never fails to calm my storm, whether it's sprinkling or raging.

So, if the Lord delights in a man's way (doing God's will)... He makes his steps firm. I'm stepping on solid ground that is leading me toward light. Toward joy. Toward fulfillment. Toward Jesus Christ, himself.
