An Unexpected Turn

Sometimes when we are facing a new, unexpected situation and are searching for answers, it is like walking in an unfamiliar land. Our footsteps suddenly feel unsteady. And as we are searching for the right path we may not know which choices to make. This can be very unnerving and challenging.

If we know the Lord and stand on the power of His Word, our footsteps will be steady and strong and well-directed in Him. He will be at our side to lead and guide us. His grace, spilling over, will be more than enough to help us make any adjustments and/or changes.

Life will take turns we do not expect, but in our times of anxiety we can always know and be assured of this: in God we can trust; He will never forsake us... we are not alone; His love is unchanging; and, we are safe in His care.

“Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, there shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent. For He will give His angels (especial) charge over you to accompany and defend you and preserve you in all your ways (of obedience and service).”
Psalm 91:9-11 Amplified Bible
