We had our first experience walking in a Big 5 Game Reserve. I was at first nervous of coming face to face with a pride of lion or herd of elephants. Then our guides assured us they were in the front listening and watching out for every movement or noise, carefully analysing each track. If there was any cause for concern they would avoid that path or alert us immediately and protect us from harm. Soon all fear was gone and I was enjoying one of the most amazing experiences of my life, walking in the quietness of the bush and watching animals in their natural habitat. Yet I knew that if we were to do this walk without our guides, because of our complete ignorance of the bush, we would be in danger immediately and invariably take the wrong path. It made me think of the walk of life. We don’t know the future, yet we ignorantly walk by our own choices and often put ourselves in harm’s way instead of entrusting our path to God. “The LORD says, ‘I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you’” (Psalm 32:8). Let us entrust our lives every day into His all-knowing hands. Open Bible – https://bit.ly/Psa32v8 (Nicky B)
