Go Forth With Confidence

IMG_7578.jpeg

My family has made many road trips from our home in New Jersey to visit our relatives in Indiana. My husband and I share the driving and the inevitable chuckle as the weather traditionally turns nasty when I’m in the driver’s seat.  A battering downpour in Ohio once taught me a little about staying the course.

The rain wasn’t coming down, it was walloping, clobbering and bashing our van on all sides. Lightning struck continually all around us but provided no help for my eyes as I struggled to see the road. I could see no lines or lanes, only dull taillights before me, so I fixed my eyes on the blurry beacons.

We considered stopping on the shoulder but decided we would be in danger of other travelers also blinded by the storm. We considered taking an exit to get off the road completely but we would be lost, unable to even read road signs or see traffic lights. So we stayed on the course we knew to be right, even though it was miserable, slow, arduous and even dangerous. Eventually, the rain let up.

There is no reason to turn away from Jesus.  Stay the course with confidence.

But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded. 2 Chronicles 15:7
