God has prepared the way for us

“You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn.” Psalm 18:36
The Christian life is likened throughout the Bible to a long distance walk. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path” (Ps. 119:105). “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matt. 7:13-14). Christianity was called ‘the Way’ by the early church (Acts 9:2, 19:9, 19:23, 24:14, 24:22). Our path through life takes many twists and turns, ups and downs, mountains and valleys, sunshine and rain. Some days we’re on top of the world, other days we struggle to find the motivation to get out of bed. But know this: God has prepared everything in advance for us. And yes, sometimes it is His will for us to go through difficult times – because ultimately these are the things that strengthen our faith.
We talk about ‘walking in faith’, which simply means to make decisions in life by faith, after praying and asking God to show you the way. You’ll sense by the Holy Spirit prompting you, which is the way to go. It might not make sense in human logic, but if it’s from God, He will prepare the way and open doors for you. The path to life is narrow, but keep going. It might look treacherous ahead, but just concentrate on taking one step at a time, and leave what’s ahead to God.
