Trail Map

What am I learning about WHO God is?

God knows the path ahead. Ps.107:7⁣

God leads with purpose. Ex 14:12⁣

God is faithful in all his ways.⁣

God sees what we can’t and guides us in such a way that calls us to depend on Him. 1 Cor 10:13⁣

Word or phrase that God is bringing to Light. How does it further explain the Word?-

- led —סָבַב çâbab -to turn, cause to turn, to cause to go around, surround, or to encompass. Change directions. He surrounds where He leads. ⁣

-of the wilderness- מִדְבָּר midbâr— an open field, a desert, uninhabited land. From the root word, דָבַר dâbar, which means to speak, to promise, to lead, to guide. He will surely lead us in the wilderness. The other way they could have gone had great dangers— it was where Egypt's military outposts were). Our God is present in the desolate. ⁣

How is His word transforming my heart and mind?

God's presence is always with us. His plan, path, and pace are what we can in fact rest in. Even when His way is longer or more rugged, His way is better, His way outweighs any conditions because in the midst of it we are with Him. When we go His way, we can trust that we are equipped in and through Him. He surrounds us, he cares for us, and he keeps us. Deut 32:10⁣
