The Road Untraveled

Joshua 3:1-4 "Joshua started early the next morning and left Acacia Grove with all the Israelites. They went as far as the Jordan and stayed there before crossing. After three days the officers went through the camp and commanded the people: "When you see the ark of the convenant of the LORD your God carried by the Levitical priests, you must break camp and follow it. But keep a distance of about 1,000 yards between yourselves and the ark. Don't go near it, so that you can see the way to go, for you haven't traveled this way before."

 I have not traveled this way before. This past year several of my closest loved ones have been journeying through some of the toughest health concerns. I am a mother of a seven-month old. Our church has been working through some changes with some hurt along the way. I have not traveled this way before.

Joshua 3:3-4 provide the best advice on where to keep my focus and that is on the Living God. I love that when we keep our eyes on Him, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, He will show us where to go. He will show us how to love. He will tell us what to say. There are many challenges in the coming days, but our God is faithful. He will be our guide if we will follow Him.
