Good morning.
Life in the Spirit is like a river. At times, the water is calm, the sun is shining, and the only thing to do is soak in the sweet air and scenery. At other times, the pace accelerates, obstacles come in quick succession, and intense focus is required.
On this river we are utterly dependent on the voice of our Guide for what lies ahead. He has the wisdom to get us safely through. As we witness His expertise and learn to trust His voice, we gain confidence in His commands. In following His commands, we learn His techniques, which yield a peace and certainty far beyond any map we could possess.
When we let Him lead, it becomes second nature to navigate difficult stretches without fear. When we see the water swirling, we know where to place our oar, our focus, and our confidence.
What a beautiful journey it becomes as we learn to listen and follow the voice of the one who knows us, who knows how to get us where we need to go, and who delights in sharing the adventure.
Jesus said, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." (John 10:27)
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
