WHO KNOWS THE WAY?

 “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 I’m going.” Fog rolled in, blurring the landscape.

“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, put his hands on Timmy’s  shoulders. “Look at me. 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 snickered.

“Works for me.” Grandfather winked at him.

Timmy gave a quick nod. “For me, too.”  He latched on to Grandfather’s jacket, 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 just any coat tail. We need to hang on to the Lord Jesus—the One who directs our steps—“

“Why do I forget? I know I’m to hang on to the Lord Jesus but when all I could see was fog—guess I panicked.” He dipped his head.

“Then what happened?”

“I called out to you—oh, like I can call out to the Lord Jesus?” Grandfather smiled. “Cause He knows the way.” Timmy grinned. “And He promises never to forsake me ’cause He loves me forever."

 “Absolutely, son. Absolutely."

Kingdom Thinking. I choose to remember I’m not alone when I struggle along the foggy path of life. 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?
