As a driver we have signs that tell us what is going on....icy roads, stop signs, yield, etc. What if we had signs that warned us of difficulties headed our way? Cancer? Job loss? Financial windfall? Divorce?
If we had signs that warned of these things would it make us any different? Handle things any differently? Live life on purpose? I don't promote one book over another (other than the Bible itself) but a local pastor wrote a book "One Month To Live". The booked is based on living out your life as if you had one month left to live. What you change anything?
Psalm 119:105 Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Have you ever been camping? If you have, then you know that you don't go anywhere after dark without a lantern or flashlight. Even in an unfamiliar wooded area you are only going to see the area lit by the lantern/flashlight. You stay on the straight path directed by the light. The light protects you from the dangers all around. It isn't necessary to see far away--only right where you are stepping.
Faith is taking one step at a time trusting God to direct your path. Hebrews 11:1 says "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
We don't need to see the signs six months down the road...we have a beacon that shines for us and the confidence of knowing that we serve the God of this universe; the One, True, Only Living God and He has a plan for each of us. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
