WE’RE LOST WITHOUT YOU~ by C D SWANSON

“I can’t see anything!” I continued driving as my car was engulfed by the thick fog that seemingly swallowed up the entire world!   WIthin a few minutes it lifted and the sun broke through illuminating both car and narrow path straight ahead. Thereby allowing me to continue on my journey without danger or anxiety.

Sound familiar? In our spiritural walk with the Lord we too could be “engulfed” by blackness cutting off our “vision.” This could alter the path in which we walk.  However, with God by our side…He’ll lift the “darkness” and shine His glorious light onto our narrow path of righteousness.  He’ll do it for us, but for His namesake as it so clearly states in Psalm 23.

Without God…I’m lost much like in a fog. Our sight is hooded and our direction thwarted without His hands of grace or guidance. He is the anchor which hauls us from the troubled waters. He is the Rock upon which we stand. He is the refuge in which we seek. He is the staight and narrow of all things pure. He is the compass of  morality and goodness which in turn guides and gives us direction in life.

So lost am I without God that I need Him desperately, as the “deer pants for water” so too my soul “thrists for Him.” …As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God Psalm 42:1 (KJV)    

…As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God.  Psalm 42:1  (GWT)

Confidence and trust in the Lord is the way we navigate as He takes control of the “wheel” driving us, guiding us, leading us, touching us.  He is the ultimate GPS system and the only one we’ll ever need. With Him–our Sovereign God— as our GPS we are never lost, nor are we swallowed up by the “fog” that we’ll encounter on our spiritual path.

He is our resilient and brilliant Light that will “break through” the fog, darkness and disarray that attempts to overtake us. With His power and His name…we are safe…always.

Trust in Him always. Love Him always. Give Him all the glory and honor and praise, always. And, believe in His word…in Him…and all else will fall into place, no matter how lopsided or “evil” the world gets. We will be in the safe Harbor of His loving arms and protection.  Never to be lost ever again…Amen.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 ( KJV)

In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me  Psalm 56:11 (KJV)
