******************************************************
And I will lead the blind
in a way that they do not know,
in paths that they have not known
I will guide them.
I will turn the darkness before them into light,
the rough places into level ground.
These are the things I do,
and I do not forsake them. Isaiah 42:16 (ESV)
******************************************************
Believing that He leads… even when I am blind and can not see.
Believing He knows the way, especially when I do not know how to go.
Believing I am guided by One who has gone down this road many times before.
Seeing as darkness slowly bends into glorious light. Shade by shade, shadow by shadow.
Noticing as my over-thought and hyper-planned, stumbling steps and fumbling along shifts almost imperceptibly. The frightened shuffle becomes an easier walk and I’m no longer thinking about the ground beneath my feet.
Relaxing into what He is doing. Trusting with the kind of trust that becomes so natural, I don’t even realize I’m doing it.
Because….
I’m not forsaken.
I’m named and claimed and
deeply, divinely, GLORIOUSLY redeemed.
Powerful truths! I love the “poetry” of your words. Beautiful.
Thanks for visiting Dina and for sharing in this moment with me.
“Because….
I’m not forsaken.
I’m named and claimed”
Yes. Yes, this!
Isn’t it cool to recognize that it’s God who names and claims us!
Amen and amen.
☺️
My new word for the year is Believe… so this is so fitting.
Yes. I am so thankful that God doesn’t just wind us up and let us go but stays so near to guide us. Bless you on your Believe journey!
Visiting from Sandy’s place today. What a beautiful place you’ve created!
Thankyou dear Sheila for stopping by to see what God is doing with the place!
