"Your way was through the sea, your path through the great waters; yet your footprints were unseen."
Psalm 77:19
The providence of God brings us through the uncertainty of troubled waters at times. The great oceans of this world are treacherous. Difficult to navigate and often churning with chaos. Mariners must navigate these waters with the anticipation to reach their haven of rest. They leave no path to follow. The course they took is like a mystery.
God's way is not always distinguishable. He moves us through the circumstances of life similar to a vast sea. The scope of our lives is unsearchable and cannot be fully known or always understood. There are no footprints or clear indications to the naked eye of God's presence.
Yet the heart is filled with peace. A blessed hope that God is working all things for the good of our salvation. Everything must coincide with God's will. Nothing can befall us outside of His sovereignty, while every good gift comes from God's hand.
You may be passing through great waters today and feel as though you cannot see the footprints of God. The Lord is with you. God is still the one who calms the sea and opens the way through great waters.
In Christ Alone,
Pastor Wight
