“Don't panic. I'm with you. There's no need to fear for I'm your God. I'll give you strength. I'll help you. I'll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.” (Isaiah 41:10 MSG)
My spirit of adventure is tempered by my dislike for uncertainty. When I go hiking, I usually study a trail map before I even set out. I check the distance, elevation, availability of water, restrooms, etc. If I am hiking with someone who is familiar with the route, I don’t worry too much. I rely on them to figure out the details.
The more uncertain we feel about a situation, the more certain we have to be of God. When I am unsure, it feels as if I am lost in a dense forest. I am filled with dread and panic. But then I am reminded that God is with me, always. He knows the way. He cares for me. I am safe with Him. I may not know what is ahead, but I know Who goes with me, and He is reliable.
“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”
~Corrie Ten Boom
