Where Is My Path Headed?

We have all been there, and if not, we will be at some point in time. We sit and think.....where am I headed? What is in store for me? What do I have to look forward to in the future? What is going to happen to me and my life as the years pass on?

One of the hardest things about being an imperfect human is our inability to just stay calm in the unknown. We like to have plans, we like to know where we are going to be, when, and how we will get there. But many times, there are no answers to that...at least not ones that we ourselves will be able to foretell. But we need not fear, for God knows our entire path ahead and laid it long before we were created.. Jeremiah 1:5 tells us, "I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations."

Another comforting thought is that not one speck of our being is forgotten by our creator. When we feel lost, unsure, or worried...he knows everything about us, inside and out. Luke 12:7 tells us, "Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." Our Creator loves us so much that He has made it a point to know every single detail, no matter how small or insignificant we may view it from a human perspective. Can you say that about any other human being you have encountered? I sure can't.

So do not be dismayed about your future plans, for if they are from God, they are all good! He makes promises and He ALWAYS delivers on them! What a comfort to know the one true place we can go where we will never be let down is right at our fingertips every second of our lives...but we are responsible for seeking and trusting in it enough to let God lead our paths, instead of leading our own. No matter how uncertain or scary it may seem, remember that God never fails and NEVER will set us up for anything except an abundant future. He is our hope!

Jeremiah 29: 10-11 (MSG) "This is God’s Word on the subject: “As soon as Babylon’s seventy years are up and not a day before, I’ll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for."
