“O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.” Jeremiah 10:23. (NKJV).
“Grandfather. I can’t see where we’re going.” Fog rolled in, blurring their surroundings.
“Don’t panic, Timmy. Can you see a few steps in front of you?”
“Yes. But not far.”
“Trust me. I know this path. Watch me, not the things around you.”
“Are you sure?”
Grandfather knelt in front of Timmy, put his hands on his shoulders. “Look at me. Have I ever caused you harm? I love you, son. I know where we’re going.” He chuckled. “Hang on to my coattails.”
“Those aren’t coattails. It’s your jacket tied around your waist.” Timmy giggled.
“Works for me.” Grandfather winked at him.
“Works for me, too, Grandfather.” He latched on to Grandfather’s jacket, head up, steps steady.
“Maybe this is a lesson for both of us." Timmy tilted his head.
“Don’t understand.”
“When you thought we were lost in this fog, fear rolled in. Fear causes confusion. Wrong thinking. We need--.”
“A coattail to hang on to?” He tugged on Grandfather’s jacket.
“Right.” Grandfather chuckled. “But not any coat tail. We need to hang on to the Lord Jesus--the One who directs our steps. He promises never to leave nor forsake us. He loves us--forever!”
Kingdom Thinking. Many times I’ve struggled along the foggy path of life. I must remember I’m not alone. I’m with the one who created the path. He knows the way but most importantly? He knows and loves me just as I am. He offers this love to you. Won't you come to Him?
