This week's blog is inspired by 2 Biblical accounts: the Israelites wandering in the desert and Paul's missionary journey, found in Acts. In both these stories, we see God' people being led by His Spirit into an unknown adventure. In both, they had to fully rely on Him for protection, provision and direction. I can't help but think there's something to this very simple formula.

I'm going off-formula today and instead of a typical blog post, I want to leave a encouragement from God' point-of-view. I hope it blesses you.

Keep marching. Even when it's a trudge. Even when it seems like you're walking in circles. Aren't I leading? Aren't I in charge? The news is a distraction. What matters is obedience to my Spirit. Go, follow, linger, set up camp. You only need to know one step at a time. When you try to make a plan, you step out of full reliance and obedience. Take the step. Don't plan ahead. Let my presence overshadow you. Let me be your shade in the desert, your illumination in the dark. You worry and wonder about your assignment or others'. You may never know where I will take you next, but you know my voice and my presence. Keep an eye out and an ear inclined to me & you'll find yourself in the center of my will.
