Walking on Our Knees

While preparing for church this past Sunday morning, I heard again one of my favorite songs -- "Bow the Knee." At a time when I have no sense of direction and no idea what is around the corner, I know that I can trust my God to do what is best. We have gone through 2+ months of job limbo with no end in sight. FedEx Ground is helping to meet needs and Bec's work at the dealership helps to round out the needed income, but neither job is our long-term goal. We do not know what the next step is, so we continue to "plow the field we are in," to use a simplistic analogy. And so, FedEx each night and Freysinger's each day. Even as we wait on God for leading and direction, we know that we have things so much better than many others. There are so many who are suffering or enduring through far more than our job uncertainty.

I am reminded of Abraham and how he was led by God, but did not know where he was going (Hebrews 11:8). I kind of feel that way -- not like Abraham, but like one who is following while blindfolded. What makes it manageable is that we know we can trust God in all things at all times. Abraham did not know where he was headed, but he did know who was giving the directions. When God gives directions, He can be trusted.

My, how we have seen God work during this time. Again Sunday, someone handed us an envelope with some money in it. God has used these gifts to meet our needs and to demonstrate to the family how even in challenging time, He continues to provide. We indeed serve an awesome God. As we await God's direction, it is encouraging to see God continue to provide for the needs of the family. He is faithful at all times in all things.

And so, even as we go through this time of uncertainty, I know that we can trust God to do right. All He asks of us is simple child-like obedience as we faithfully obey and follow His leading.
