Trusting God to Go Before You To Make Your Path Straight

Sunlight streaming through a rocky canyon toward a winding river and distant hills

When the path looks crooked and the way ahead unclear, remember the Lord goes before you. He will make the rough places smooth and keep your feet from slipping.


“For he shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars of iron.” Psalm 107:16

Focus:
When we are in the middle of it surrounded by opposition and chaos it does not mean God has withdrawn His care and guidance. We can see that He is inviting us to walk more closely in His righteousness rather than under our own power. Sometimes God asks us to walk toward something we cannot yet see clearly. The obstacles can look like mountains, locked doors, or barriers that we do not see a way to pass through it. Yet God promises, “I will go before you.” You may not know what is going to happen tomorrow, but you can be sure who is already there. Trust God with the road ahead no matter how ruff, uneven or rocky it can be. He can make a way where you see no way, open paths that appear impossible, and prepare pave the path ahead of you.
