If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. - Psalm 139:9-10 (NIV)
It can be a terrifying feeling to lose your bearings and come to the realization that you are lost. As a young teen at scout camp, the leaders would remind us that if we lost our way in the dark, we should walk toward the light of the campfire.
Getting lost can happen to anyone — not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. In such circumstances, it is wonderful to have someone to lean on, a friend that comes alongside us, a guide to help us negotiate the unfamiliar terrain we are passing through.
Psalm 46:1 tells us that “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” God will not abandon us. God knows where we are, what we need, and how to help us in our distress. When we are overwhelmed and feeling lost, we can look to Jesus, the Light of the world, and ask for God’s guidance.
No matter my circumstances, God is always near.
