Change can be a scary thing. Staying with what is familiar
is the comfortable way to go. Making the decision for change involves contemplation, and during the waiting we find this transition to be a time of trust.
I found myself ready to jump into the unknown, with only
faith to hold me up.
I felt the imagery of standing on a precipice, with all of
my tomorrows laid out before me on the other side of the canyon. My heart
yearned for a glimpse of what lay beyond; a reassurance of the path I chose.
But my view was obscured by the low clouds covering the
horizon. I could not see my future, or even the path I was to follow. The sun
shone brightly on the ledge on which I stood, and in my heart I knew that I needed just to trust in God. I had to realize that the God of my days was there
in my tomorrows, and that His plan for me was good.
I would leap off the edge, and I would soar, knowing I could
trust in the One who knows my future. He would not let me fall.
It is exciting to know that God is in the unknowable future.
It is reassuring to know that the God of our yesterdays will also be in our
tomorrows, and that God is always the same.
We can’t know our future, and truthfully it isn’t for us to know. We have
to live it and learn as we go. But we can confidently go forward assured that we can follow the lead of the One who already knows all of our
tomorrows. We can leap into the
unknown, and trust that we will spread our wings and soar.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They
are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 NLT
