I was reading "Our Daily Bread" devotional and found this passage so encouraging...
"When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then You knew my path." -Psalm 142:3
"Sometimes the path of life seems impossibly steep and lengthy. I have no strength and no will for the journey. Then I remember God knew this path long before I was called to walk in it. He has always known the difficulties I would experience, the pain that I could never explain to another. He knows and offers His presence.
Perhaps you're overwhelmed with sadness today. "Surely" you say, "God would not have me walk this way. There must be another, easier path for me to travel." However, are any of us wise enough to know that some other way would make us into better and wiser children? No, our Father in heaven knows the best path, out of all possible paths, to bring us to completion.
His ways are higher than our ways; His thoughts higher than our thoughts (As the heavens are higher
than the earth, so are my
ways higher than your ways and my
thoughts than your thoughts.-Isaiah 55:9) We can humbly take the path He has marked out for us today, and do so in absolute trust in His infinite wisdom and love. He is wiser and more loving than we can ever know. He who sees has foreseen and will not lead us astray."
God will never lead you down a wrong path.
