I took a walk today down a familiar path I haven’t walked in several months because I’ve been busy with summer fun with my family. I love my morning walks and runs. They are my time with God when I pray, listen to music, and enjoy His wonderful creation.
With each step I took this morning I was reminded of past times I took that same path. The painful times came back to mind – times when I cried my heart out to God over betrayal, loss of friendships, and questioning God’s direction. That path has been worn through seeking God’s leadership in parenting, how to be a Godly wife and supportive friend.
As I relived those memories a flood of joy filled my soul – joy over the realization that even though I have walked that path through some difficult hard mornings, God was with me each step of the way.
He carried me when I needed to be carried. He walked before me when I needed to be led. He walked behind me when I needed to be pushed along and He walked beside me when I needed a friend.
So my friends whatever you find yourself facing today. Please know God is there. He hears you when you cry out and carries you when you need to be carried.
And when the difficult days are over He will give you a joy that will fill your soul as you look back and see how He carried you.
In His Calm,
