“Your Word is a light to my feet and a lamp to my path.” God's Word does not illuminate your whole future before you exactly and in all the details. But His Word will definitely guide the step before me and the path before me.
His Word, just like His grace is sufficient for today, is enough for the step and the path before me. Many times I worry ahead of time, and I fall out of His grace. I often need to be reminded that God’s grace is sufficient for me moment by moment I need it.
As I pray and ponder over my future step, many worries and concerns often cloud my thinking. With all these worries harassing me, I cannot think with clarity. I need the wisdom of God to get out of these confusions. And I need the promise of God to assure me that He will not lead me where His grace cannot keep me.
船到桥头自然直。Perhaps this is the Chinese understanding of God's grace. God may or may not remove all the obstacles ahead of us before we meet with it. He has no need to deliver us out of danger before we meet with it. As a Chinese, perhaps I just need to understand 船到桥头自然直. As a Christian, I need to believe that God's grace will be there when I need it. And I need to know that worrying only cause me to doubt God's grace for me. So stop worrying LiJie...
