Sharing Your Journey

Deuteronomy 1:33 who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day, to search out places for you to camp and to show you the way you should go.

Isaiah 30:21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it."

Isaiah 43:16  I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth.  These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.

Our individual journeys are covered completely by His Presence. Scripture declares He goes before us, He is with us, and He is behind us. We are simply surrounded by our Heavenly Father. And each individual journey is a story... a unique story that He has written... a story that unfolds as we choose to walk with Him.

I love listening to people as they share about their journeys with God and reveal their testimonies about how He is working in their lives. I marvel at how each story is different. Yet God's Presence is clearly woven into every account I hear. I am often in awe of how people have been lead to incredible heights with Jesus...  or touched at the tenderness of the person who has taken that first monumental step toward Him.  In all accounts, wherever they happen to be on their walk with God, His hand is clearly leading His children on their individual paths with Him.

Whether you have had a long, fruitful relationship with the LORD, or whether you have just made the decision to follow Jesus today, no matter where you are on your journey with Him, your story can bless and encourage others. Share the Good News of His Presence in your life! We can all learn from and be encouraged by each other. While my journey will be very different from yours, the common thread of His glorious Presence and how He surrounds us on our journey will be clear. 

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for the story You have given me. May I use it to bless others and to proclaim Your surrounding Presence. I praise You for Your overflowing, faithful and unending love as You walk on this journey with me. Amen.
