Understanding our Path

S
A man's steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand his own way?

Proverbs 20:24
O
God sets our life in motion. He made us and knows the very days we will live. He directs our steps, where and when we will go. there's no way we can understand it or figure it out because His ways are higher than ours.

A young mother dies of cancer leaving behind a husband, a 13 year old daughter and a small son. She loved the Lord! God directed her steps. As a young girl looking forward to her life she would have never thought her steps would have led her to this moment. We don't understand either, but God does. He directed them. She did not survive to watch her daughter being baptized on what would have been her 34th birthday. God knows why. But we do know she trusted God totally, and she left behind a legacy of faith to her children, husband and friends. We don't understand it, but we trust the One who does.

Thank you, Jesus, for directing my steps and for knowing where I am going. I trust you completely.
