Can You See the Road?
 
I regularly travel a strip of lakefront road between Algoma and Sturgeon Bay that is prone to soupy fog in the summer and blinding snow storms in the winter.  When I drive through these weather phenomena, I take it on faith (or perhaps previous knowledge) that the road is still in front of me, where it is supposed to be, leading me to my destination.
 
It seems to me that (and this is an imperfect analogy, I admit) this is how it can be in our faith journeys.  We travel roads that — if we trust in the Lord — we know where they should and will lead.  In the meantime, there are times when we can’t always see what is one mile, one step, even one inch in front of us, and the spot we’re in may seem pretty desolate.
 
My point:  As seekers on a faith journey, we may find ourselves from time to time on long sections of lonely, isolated, unfamiliar road — filled with teeth-jarring potholes or obscured by bone-chilling ice storms — leaving us flat-out lost through mile after mile of mind-numbing tedium, without a mile marker in sight.  Still, the road is there, the destination is ahead.  Just keep on.  Just keep on.  — jri
 
“They departed in tears,but I will
console them and guide them;
I will lead them to brooks of water,
    on a level road so that none shall
    stumble.”
        –     Jeremiah 31: 9
 
Please pray for all who struggle in these challenging times and who cannot seem to find the road..  Also, thank you for your prayers. Yes, they are being answered (surprise, surprise) and the fog is lifting.  God bless.
