What makes people to take one step of faith? Where did they put their trust as they journey through life? How can they be so confident in life?
Life’s worries are sometimes overbearing and frightening. For example,
An undecided hiker taking an unknown trail alone.
A man leaving his family for work.
An impatient man and a worried woman saying “Yes” to marriage.
A five years jobless girl applying for work.
An anxious son or daughter leaving for college.
And more…
People have their own share of experiences where they made a decision for the sake of others and themselves. They took a step not knowing what would happen to them, to their friends and family. Doesn’t it sometimes cause anxiety to someone who is worried? Fear to someone who’s not used to taking risk?
But there were people who look beyond their fears and anxiety and saw hope. They went further in life because they believed that there is Someone looking after them. Someone who encourages them to keep on persevering because it will be worth it. Someone who provides guidance to an unknown road. Someone who promises to protect those whom they love. Someone who is constantly faithful and just. Someone who unconditionally loves them even when they fail.
Isn’t it encouraging?
That’s what motivates the undecided hiker to go on hiking. He knows that there is someone who will be with him in the journey.
It gave the man the assurance that his family will be okay because Someone is looking after them.
It brings hope to the married couple that even in their differences, there is Someone who will help them in their marriage.
It gives courage to the jobless girl who’s aware that she’s incompetent in some areas but as long as this Someone will open the door, she will be given a chance to train and develop the skills needed for the opportunity.
Lastly it gives excitement to the son or daughter on their first step to a university because they knew that this Someone will lead them to genuine friends.
Life may be full of uncertainties but having Someone whom you can genuinely put your trust upon is something that gives hope, assurance and peace. And this Someone is God Himself. The Almighty God who reigns over all. He is always there guiding, loving and protecting us. May all of us be reassured that there is someone who promises to be with us ALWAYS!
Blessings!
