I&#8217;m living moment by  moment and I can&#8217;t see what he is doing in my moments.  The light that  shows me what God is doing sometimes comes much later.  Most of the time  I only get a glimpse, a stream of light through the clouds, a smile  from heaven as it were.\u00a0Finding my way is the challenge of life.  How  to navigate the road ahead when I only see a little bit in front of me.<\/p>\n<p>I remember, years ago, while driving late at night in my 1937 Plymouth  Road King that I accidentally hit the light switch and turned off the  lights.  What a panic!  Going down the road in pitch blackness at 60  miles per hour.  I quickly fumbled for the lights and the fear that  overwhelmed me from the experience took hours to wane.  It&#8217;s that  feeling we often live with&#8230;the feeling of living in the dark.  How to  find the way?  How to know what God is doing.  It&#8217;s often a matter of  trust when we see nothing at all.<\/p>\n<p>Finding my way&#8230;.I&#8217;m still working  on it.  But what I know is that God has promised to lead me, to help me,  just as a guide would lead a blind man,  holding my hand and leading me  around the things I can&#8217;t even see.  Paul wrote these words in  Philippians, &#8220;My God will supply all your needs in Christ Jesus&#8230;&#8221;  My  greatest need is a guide to show me the way.  I&#8217;m so glad he is that  tender hand leading me along&#8230;even when I can&#8217;t see the way to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s often hard for me to see God&#8217;s work in my life.
