For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’ (Isaiah 41:13, NKJV)
Today is my start date. I’ve been planning and preparing for months. I’ve been dreaming for years. And now it’s time. In just a few hours I’ll be on my way. My friend Janet will take me down to the southern terminus and see me off. It’s real. It’s not a dream anymore.
During my prayer time this morning, I was wanting the Lord to be with me on this journey – holding my hand every step of the way and I was reminded of today’s verse.
In her devotional, The Faith I Live By, Ellen White said this, “The path is not an easy one…. All the way along, Satan has prepared pitfalls for the feet of the unwary. But following our Guide, we may walk with perfect security; for the path is consecrated by His footsteps. It may be steep and rugged, but He has traveled it; His feet have pressed down the thorns to make the way easier for us. Every burden we are called upon to bear, He Himself has borne. Personal contact with Him brings light and hope and power. Of those who follow Him, He says, “They shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” John 10:2 FLB 249.3
Let’s go!!! Light. Hope. Power!
Amen.
