We do not know
what the future holds. We look into it with some inclination of the direction that
we are traveling but the future is foggy and difficult to see. We can look back
at the past with much greater clarity. We look back not so that we can see
forward clearly but so that we can walk forward into the fog without fear. God
has directed our paths and we have come safely through the fog of future that
we now call past. If we were fearful then, it was only because we could not see
forward and know that God would be at every foggy place leading us through the
shadows of death. But He was and we know that now.
So, how do we go forward into more fog?
Well, we still do not know the future but I hope we have come to believe that
God is there and that He is beckoning us to come forward in peace, hope and
joy. And to prove this to us, He calls us to sit down at His table to eat and
drink and grow strong and develop keen eyes of faith so that we can go forward
in hope without fear.
This meal is His promise to never leave or forsake us and
to guide us in the way of peace. So, eat and take courage.
