Objects In The Rearview Mirror

 

Would it not be better

for us to go back to Egypt?

          Numbers 14. 3

Not trusting God 

distorts what was,

what is,

     and what is ahead.

We can go forth differently,

   secure and confident

when we follow HIm 

into His ways for us.

Even in the hard stuff,

   His steadfast love prevails.

Even when we don't understand,

  God whispers,

           Trust Me in this.

The LORD is with us.

We need not fear.

We need not waste time, energy

            and resources

  looking elsewhere.

Objects in the rearview mirror

are never as they appear.

Look to Me.

O LORD,

Forgive us for second-guessing

Your plans and directions

      and purposes.

Grant to us the courage

    to follow You,

every step, every turn,

           every day,

right into Your goodness

  and steadfast love.
