“A person’s steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand his own way?” (20:24). One thing you have to get used to when you walk with God is having absolutely no idea where he is leading you. God doesn’t tell us our future. It is probably a good thing because we only have the strength now to face what we must face now. God does tell us about our future in general terms, however. He tells us that he has prepared a way for us, that he will be with us and that he will guide us. You may be concerned about how certain things are going to turn out in the short, medium or long term. Maybe you have financial concerns, maybe you have health concerns, maybe there are relational difficulties and you don’t know how things are going to be resolved. If you walk with God through these things, then tomorrow will be exactly as God has planned. There may be greater hardships still to come but these will not undermine the good things that God is doing in and through your life. In fact, what unfolds will probably grow you significantly, particularly if it is challenging. God doesn’t want you to know what is ahead. He just wants you to take one right step at a time and trust him to lead the way. You can do that.
Entrust your greatest concerns to God now.
Read Proverbs 20:21-30
