“Therefore
I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.”
This
is how we run, knowing that the one guiding and giving our steps knows exactly
what he is doing. Not with uncertainty. Not with faltering steps. Not looking
back. And notice that this doesn’t even say “walk”, it says “run”!
I
lived in the same room for two and a half years, and I still didn’t run in it
when it was completely dark. I would walk slowly, feeling around for the
familiar touch of the things around me. I was afraid that something might’ve
changed in the time I’d spent with the light off.
I
can’t remember one time when the room changed on my way from the light switch
to the bed. Why don’t I just trust my instincts and run through the dark? I’m
afraid of falling.
It’s
like this with the Lord. We can trust him to guide us and to tell us when
something’s in our way. We shouldn’t be this way! He’s our guide, our protector
and provider, and he’ll catch us if we do fall.
Today,
I will walk with the Lord guiding my steps, praying for his direction.
