“God himself is right alongside to keep you steady and on track until things are all wrapped up by Jesus.” (1 Corinthians 1:8 MSG)
When life is going according to our plans, we feel like a train that is chugging along smoothly on its track. Yet, we have all experienced the derailment that comes with disappointment and heartbreak. Many of us reach out to God in prayer--asking Him to set us back on track. We are hoping that God places us right back on the path that we have laid out, according to our own desires and ambitions.
However, God may have a completely different track laid out for us. It may curve away from our intended route, taking us in a completely different direction. This can be disorienting and depressing. BUT God does not expect us to figure it all out by ourselves. He does not abandon us. He comes alongside us, keeping us steady and on His track--until everything works out according to His plans.
