Discover the Possibilites

Isaiah 42v 16-17

I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them, but those who trust in idols, who say to images, ‘You are our gods; will be turned back in utter shame.

Picture this, you are blind folded and your best friend is holding your hand, leading you around in a maze. While he/she is leading you, you scream at the top of your lungs “I better not fall! Where are you going! What’s going on?” That friend of yours will not be too happy with you. As a matter of fact he/she may not feel like you trust them. Well how do you think God feels?


Along this path of life we enter into the depths of what we call the unknown, the inadmissible place where our mind drifts into anxiety and dwell on “what if’s” and “how will’s.” Once those thoughts come flooding in our mind we leave access for Satan to enter and shatter the trust we have in God. Some of us are blind spiritually and God is trying to guide us into a place of certainty, but we will not allow him to. What we fail to realize is that God is not out to get us. He longs to be gracious to us and rises to show us compassion (Isaiah 30:18).


The bible says to be anxious for nothing! Yet we continue to stress ourselves out with things we cannot control. What we need to do is take our thoughts captive and remind ourselves that as God will guides us through unfamiliar paths he will not leave us nor forsake us. Outstretch your hand, take a deep breath and discover the possibilities of stepping off your throne and letting God take the lead for a change.
