Have you ever heard God's voice tell you to do something you didn't understand? Not knowing can create a lot of anxiety if we don't understand and truly believe God has our best interests at heart and knows the path. Sometimes we can't see because God wants us to learn to trust Him knowing that we can't do ANYTHING apart from Him. 

When God tells me to do something I don't understand, I often think of it like walking across stones stretched across water.  In those moments of anxiety and fear to me it feels like the water is raging and can knock me off the rock I stand on at any moment.  When I focus on the unknown I feel like I am alone, wet and cold with no one to save me and lead me to the other side.  

BUT THEN I REMEMBER, that God holds the flashlight that is lighting the stone I stand on, and even when it feels like I am alone, I am not! I remember God is not only lighting the stone I am currently on, but the next stone I need to step onto to get safely to the other side. I remember God is going to protect me from danger! I remember God has provided for me before, and He will continue to give me what I need to make it to the other side safely.

I often think about that river until my eyes are set on Jesus and I experience His peace. There is where my fears disappear and the image turns into a peaceful stream with the sun shining on my face, while I sit in the palm of His hand as we cross the stream together.  It is then I realize, that I have been there with Him all along and it was only my fears that made me picture the dark, wet and alone path that I thought I was standing on.  It is here that I remember I am A CHILD OF GOD and His ways are better than my own, and that I can trust Him. 

Knowing this gives me strength to say YES to whatever He is asking me to do!
