One man explains how God directs our steps when life feels uncertain. His explanation and description of how the Lord works during unknown periods makes perfect sense for a loving heavenly Father. Watch the short and informative clip to hear how God guides and directs when the path forward is muddled and murky, to say the least.

Life is not always easy. Not every situation or circumstance is a cause for celebration. Sadly, there will be pain, hurt and heartache. There is simply no escaping or avoiding those periods which visit everyone at one time or another.

While instances of hurt and sorrow are never fun, other times might even cause more fear and trepidation. Of course, I’m talking about times when the outcome of a situation or the path forward is uncertain. People like knowing what is to come next. We want to be prepared, but life does not work that way. However, we have a heavenly Father we can rely on in those times.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Josh Ney discussed doubt and uncertainty and having faith in Him after mentioning Jesus’ interaction with Thomas in the New Testament book of John. 

To help illustrate his point about how God guides and directs, he mentioned how we would help a blindfolded loved one travel from Point A to Point B. Josh correctly points out that we wouldn’t remain far away from them and shout unintelligible words and phrases at them. Instead, we would stay close to them, giving them instructions and holding their hand the entire way forward.

According to Josh, that is how the Lord guides and directs us when we are unsure and uncertain about something. He doesn’t keep His distance. Instead, He is with us every step of the way.

What a lovely illustration of how the Lord works, and one that we would all do better to remember whenever those times of uncertainty arrive.

Proverbs 16:9 “A man may make designs for his way, but the Lord is the guide of his steps.”
