The Maze
Two things I am reminded of today. One is that God is Present. He is the God who Sees – Jehovah El Roi. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; He is the God who will come one day as Conquering King. But He is also the God of Now. He is the God of Diane. He is the God who sees – a very present help in time of trouble.
Secondly, perspective. Think about a maze for a moment. Walking through it can be a frightening experience (especially for a child) because perspective is very limited. Do I turn right or left? Which way is the path to the exit? I try this way and that way and hopefully make it through unscathed. A maze from a different perspective, though, is not at all scary. From above, one can see the whole picture and can guide the wanderer step-by-step, turn-by-turn, to the finish. God is that person looking at the labyrinth of our lives from His divine, therefore, perfect perspective. He sees the entrance, the twists and turns, the exit and exactly where we are along the path. And He will guide us step by step to freedom. Our job is to take one step at a time, not worrying about which turn to take, confident that He who Sees All, will direct. And yes, God understands that sometimes we are scared, because after all, we are only children.
God help me see life through your eyes and trust implicitly in your faithful, loving guidance.
