“If the LORD delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.” Psalm 37:23-29 NIV 

God makes us aware of His presence in our lives. He opens our hearts and leads us on a journey of faith. He knows what’s inside the baggage we carry and He helps us balance the load. When we stumble and fall, He shows us how to keep on going…

Sometimes, we pack too much and have difficulty carrying the weight. But, Jesus teaches us to trust. He fills us with strength and shows us how to surrender what cannot be held. He reminds us why we will never travel alone. 

Jesus helps us make room to discover the power of mercy and grace. He prepares us for what’s to come. He helps us remember we are cradled in care and sets our feet on solid ground when we have been filled by His greatness. 

When we’re prepared to travel, God will reveal His will for our lives. He will guide and provide all of our days, as we faithfully learn to trust. And when we’ve been readied to recognize why we don’t have to handle life on our own, He will remove the burdens of our hearts. God will open our eyes to the promise of peace and help us see glimpses of HOPE in what’s to come…

Dear God, We’re so grateful to walk with You. Fill us with courage as we journey ahead. Help us faithfully remember; You already know where we will arrive. Humble our hearts, so we will surrender the loads we bear and be ready to welcome what’s to come. We will serve You with a heart of thanks and find HOPE in the arms of Your everlasting love. Amen
