Have you found yourself in need of a spriritual lighthouse? You know during those times we find ourselves being tossed around in the sea of life and searching for a beacon to guide us to a safe harbor. Or perhaps we encounter a roadblock in our financial, professional, or relational matters. During these storms or foggy times, rest assured that God sees a path that is totally unknown to us. I find great comfort in these words in Scripture:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to Him,
and He will make your paths straight.
~ Proverbs 3:5-6
When the fog is the thickest that is when we have to trust in the Lord and keep walking in faith. We may not know the way, but trust God and let Him make or steer a way for us. We have to accept that our vision is limited and constraining; but, God willing, one day in heaven we will get the full picture of our lives and the complete purpose behind our life’s journey.
In the meantime, trust in the Lord and stop trying to figure everything out alone. God will help and guide us during through life’s tempests. He will assist us to make the right decision and shed light on the path for us to take. God is our security, our lighthouse.
When the storm dies down, let’s not forget to thank God and give Him the glory and praise for, once again, guiding our ship to a safe harbor.
Lord, mercifully receive the prayers of your people who call upon you,
and grant that they may know and understand what things they ought to do,
and also may have grace and power faithfully to accomplish them;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
