"Untried, untrodden, and unknown as your future path may be, it is, each step, mapped, arranged, and provided for in the everlasting and unchangable covenant of God. To Him who leads us, who accepts us in the Son of his love, who knows the end from the beginning, it is no new, or uncertain, or hidden way. We thank him that while he wisely and kindly veils all the future from our reach, all that future——its minutest event——is as transparent and visible to Him as the past. Our shepherd knows the windings along which he skillfully, gently, and safely leads his flock. He has traveled that way himself, and has left the traces of his presence on the road. And as each follower advances——the new path unfolding at each step——he can exultingly exclaim, "I see the footprint of my Lord; here went my Master, my Leader, my Captain, leaving me an example that I should follow His steps."
-Octavius Winslow 'Daily Walking with God'
I am so thankful that God is in full control of my life, that He walks with me, and fills me with strength to look at my sometimes unknown future with a sense of adventure and fun instead of feeling anxious or scared.
