Buckhorn Trail - Colorado Springs
I went on a hike this past weekend with a few friends.
It was a loop hike, meaning we were going to make a circle and end up where we started.
About halfway in the hike we were a bit lost. We didn’t have a map, just a hunch on which direction to go.
Adrenaline kicks up a bit when this happens. What also kicked up for me was excitement.
Sometimes when I have a predictable path to a predictable destination life can feel a little … hmmm … blah?
Looping this back around (get that reference … nice?) I began to think about God’s will in my life.
I’d love to know what life will be like in a year, five years, ten years, and more. Will I still be alive? Will I still be married? How much will I weight? Will I still be this good looking?
This is where trusting comes in.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11
Do I really believe that? Do I really trust that?
The answer is yes, yes I do.
Do I ever feel like my life is somewhere in that hike, lost? Yes, yes I do. But God has plans to “prosper me” and “not to harm me”. I can trust in that.
Lord, help me to trust, even when I feel like I’m lost, help me to trust.
