A hike in the desert means not having a concrete path to follow, and walking through the desert can be difficult! You need to watch each step and at the same time look at what’s in front of you.
Blazing your own trail through the desert is like walking through life with God. As you move through the desert obstacles, you started asking God to show you how your hike is like trusting in Him. You look to God to guide your every step in this desert terrain, but even more so in your life.
How does God guide us? He guides us as we trust or rely on Him and His Word. Trust in God allows His Spirit to control us. The Spirit controlling us, leads us in God's will for our life, and empowers us to do it.
Letting God guide us also keeps us walking down His rewarding path instead of a path where we trip and fall into thorny sins and unnecessary trouble.
This is what the Lord says: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord. They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, with no hope for the future. They will live in the barren wilderness, in an uninhabited salty land. “But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit. Jeremiah 17:5-8.
Walk through life on a path that leads to eternity.
