Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. Psalms 143:8 In regions that get deep snowfalls, it is sometimes treacherous to walk any distance. Before the days of snow plows and snow mobiles, people had to "break trail" in order to get anywhere, whether it be to the little one room school house or just out to the barn to feed the animals. It was always incumbent upon the adult or the oldest child to break through the icy surface of the deep snow and create a trail for others to follow. The leader picked a safe route and the followers would be safe, too, as long as they walked in the footprints made by the trail breaker. It is much easier, and safer, to walk in the tracks of someone who has "broken" the trail. This is what God does for us. He breaks the trail so that our travels will be easier and safer. If we but trust Him and follow in His footsteps, He will guide us faithfully through the path He has chosen for us. Father, I thank You for breaking the tough trails in my life. Your footsteps guide me as You teach me to walk in Your way. Keep my path straight and help to stay on it. I will trust in You because You have proven Yourself to me. Amen. KJV Bible
