“Have you been praying for direction, but things still feel hazy? God himself will guide you along the pathway of life. He will teach you the way to go.”
Happy Tuesday, Friends! Today, I am excited to be over on Club31 Women where I wrote a piece, God Divinely Carves Your Path With His Almighty Hands. It posted on the site today. If you’re currently trying to make a decision—unsure of what path to take—I pray this article encourages your heart:
“It was a beautiful afternoon in Oxford. I paused at the top of Seven Sisters overlook on my walk. I needed to pray, wonder, and “have a think,” as the British love to say.
This afternoon I asked for direction for our family, for God’s leading as to the next venture on which we were to embark. Our time in England was nearing an end, and I was praying for direction for the next step.
The path was so clear when we moved to Oxford that we were to make this international move. Sometimes God’s guidance is unmistakable. The Lord directed us every step of the way. But now that our time in England was nearing an end, things seemed hazy. We weren’t sure what was next.
How can things be so clear one minute and obscure the next? What happens when the pathway isn’t clear?After a few moments of prayer, I descended through the woods towards the path to Boars Hill– one of my favorite stretches to wander. The path meandered through the wood and broke upon a grassy knoll where sheep grazed.
I noticed that the trail further on wasn’t always clear. The distant landscape hid it from me.
“Is it there?” I wondered.
But then, it appeared again.
At that moment, the Holy Spirit whispered as if He were walking alongside me.“This is how I direct. Sometimes it is crystal clear–like the year before you moved to England. You can see the trail for a long distance ahead of you. You know exactly where you are going in plenty of time. Other times, it is unclear until you are right up on it.”
“My direction and leading are not always given long-term in advance. Sometimes, with little preparation, I show you the path right when you are on it. But there it is. Clear as day. All along, I have been leading you.”

You can rest assured, dear heart, that God is carving out the best path for you. He will teach you the way to go, even if things seem hazy. His own hands are making the way clear.
