Last thoughts on Isaiah 42 1-17. "I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make rough places smooth. These are the things I will do, I will not forsake them."
In this small piece of God's Word there is reassurance that God is with us. And yet I am reminded that there are times when I am blind and that I do not know the way. I do not know what 2013 holds for me, my family, or God's family. My kids in Portland shared about a young married couple who just had their first baby and the young mother had a stroke and is now in rehabilitation. We do not know what the future holds. The path will be unfamiliar at times, dark, and rough. But God has the power to give us great spiritual blessings in spite of our circumstances. I take great courage from the words "I will not forsake them."
Blessings to you in the new year!
