I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. - Psalm 32:8 (NIV)
One day while traveling to work I had to change buses. When I reached my first stop, my phone navigation indicated that my next stop was across the road and to the left. But I didn’t see a bus stop on the left, so I walked to a stop I could see on the right. It wasn’t the correct stop, though. I decided to trust the navigation, but when I reached my supposed destination I still didn’t see a bus stop. Then I looked up and saw a sign hidden among the trees. Relieved, I caught the bus in time and made it to work.
In Genesis 12:10-20, Abram traveled with Sarai to Canaan, a land that God promised would be blessed. When Canaan experienced famine, Abram chose to go to Egypt instead. However, God remained faithful and protected Abram and Sarai, eventually leading them back to the right path.
Like Abram, when we follow God’s direction, we may encounter difficulties that seem to contradict God’s promises. This doesn’t mean the path is wrong — rather, it is a test of our faith. Even when we face challenges, God is trustworthy. If we have faith and follow God’s guidance, we will eventually reach the right place.
Even when I can’t see the destination, I will follow God’s guidance.
