Navigating Faith

Learning to trust God completely is a daily process, but it starts with personal surrender.

In Genesis 12, when God called Abram at 75 years of age to leave his comfort zone and go on a mission to an undisclosed location, he trusted God whole-heartedly to navigate the way.

From the wisdom of Solomon, we too are encouraged to allow God to be our Navigator. In Proverbs 3:5-6 we read, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths".

Here's the key to navigating faith ~ "When we cannot see our way, let us trust and still obey. He who bids us forward go, cannot fail the way to show" (Song 772, verse 1)

How much more blessed we are when we daily trust in God as our Navigator!
