Going Round Trip

 

Do not be afraid

   to go down to Egypt...

I Myself will go down

   with you to Egypt,

and I will also

   bring you up again...

          Genesis 46. 3

(Walk with God round trip,

       there and back again.

We don't go alone.

This situation may be unfamiliar,

   but it is not unknown to Him.

God leads and invites us

    into His purposes,

even into what we cannot 

            see yet.

That is what trusting Him is about.

Trusting Him

            and not circumstances.

We have just to be faithful,

    right where we are,

in the strange or the familiar.

His purposes are never singular.

This may not be about

                     me at all,

    but impacting many lives.

But then again, it might.)

O LORD,

Please help us to keep

     our eyes on You,

and not be distracted

   or derailed by fear,

   both real or imagined.

Wherever You lead us

        into this day,

   or among whomever,

help us to trust You there.

Please bring Your fruitfulness

  even into situations

  we don't comprehend.

Empower us to walk with You

          all the way through.
