You look ahead at your new day
How will you ever find your way
Twisting paths everywhere you go
Then you recall His promises too
God holds you by His right hand
He says "my child I understand
Rest and know I am always there
To guide by My counsel in prayer"
You start to relax with a new view
A peaceful fog now surrounds you
Only a few steps ahead is all you see
God says "focus your eyes on Me"
"The fog is there for your protection
Teaching you to trust My direction
You can enjoy being in My presence
I am your life source and sustenance
Only by My strength can you endure
I will be faithful to carry you through
Someday everything will be made clear
When I take you home with Me here"
Psalm 73:23-24 (NIV)
Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will
take me into glory.
1 Corinthians 13:12 (NIV)
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall
see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully,
even as I am fully known.
Based in part on insights I received from a devotional entry
for 11-16 by Sarah Young in her book Jesus Calling. It was
recommended to me by a friend. The author shares from her
experiences in God's presence, with first person narrative,
just like Jesus is speaking intimately to us in the stillness of
our heart, confirmed with Bible verses at the end of each
daily entry. I know God is using it as a blessing in my own life.
