Ten Weeks?

Welcome to A Word For Wednesday. You can view this on our YouTube Channel.

Ten weeks. Did you read that right? Ten weeks. Did I figure that right? Ten weeks. Could it really be ten weeks?

Sunday, January 31, the day Odie and I tested positive for COVID and the day we packed up and left Louisiana and headed home. Two full days later, Tuesday, February 2, we arrived home, gently eased down the snow and ice covered driveway and parked the BoggsMobile in the barn.

February 2 was ten weeks ago yesterday, April 13. Wow! Ten weeks! What a wild and wooly ten weeks it has been. Almost nothing has gone according to my plan. I did not plan on being home ten weeks.

We can be in a lot of churches and travel a lot of miles in ten weeks. We had planned to be finishing up in southern California by now and headed up to central California. 

My carnal understanding might be tempted to say this is ridiculous, but my carnal understanding is not correct. It is not ridiculous. 

God has it all in control! God knows what is going on. He has been near us every day and each moment. He has blessed and helped us tremendously. He knows where we are supposed to be. 

We are consistently listening for His direction. We want to be in the center of His will and we are doing our best to walk in His light as He provides the light.

I would love to have a big searchlight that illuminates our future at least six or eight months down the road, but God did not promise that kind of guidance to us. He did promise to lead us, but He did not promise us a crystal ball.

God said that His Word would be a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. A lamp to our feet. A light unto our path. That is not a searchlight, that is a flashlight. God promised enough light for my next step. Hallelujah!

Think about this a moment. Do we really need any more direction than that? He provides enough light for one more step. IF we follow that guidance, ONE STEP AT A TIME, then when we get six or eight months down the road, we will be exactly where God wants us to be!

Are you confused about the future? Are uncertain about your directions? Are you worried that as time unfolds you will not know what to do or how to handle the situations that life brings?

Me too! I have no idea where this roller coaster ends or even if it has an end. It almost feels like a continuous loop. I am completely uncertain as to direction. I really do not know what is ahead and I absolutely do not have a clue what will be going on six months from now.

But I am OK with that. I am perfectly fine with that. I have determined that I do not need a searchlight. God's Word as my flashlight is enough! He is shining the lamp for my feet. He is shining a light on my path.

Listen friend, that is enough! He is showing us where to put our foot down next and that is really all we need! Trust God's Word. Trust God's lamp. Trust God's light. One step at a time, He will lead us through this vale of tears and we will be home!

That is our Word For Wednesday.

Thank you for joining us.
