Proverbs 3:5-6

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

Old medieval maps often warned sailors about unexplored waters with a terrifying phrase: “Here be dragons.” It meant danger ahead. As Christians, we are not called to live paralyzed by the frightening unknowns of our tomorrow. 

Instead, we look to Jesus. He bravely stepped into the raging storms that others feared and walked willingly toward a painful cross that others avoided. Even in His darkest hour, Jesus modeled perfect trust, crying out, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” 

When your future looks shadowy and uncertain, remember that the unknown is never empty. God is already standing there, waiting with open arms of grace. When you cannot see the winding road ahead, you can still see Christ walking beside you. Since Jesus is there, there are no dragons.

Suggested Prayer: Father, teach me to trust You in every unknown, remembering You stand in my tomorrow and guide each step I take.

2 Samuel 7:18-19
Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and he said: “Who am I, Sovereign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? And as if this were not enough in your sight, Sovereign LORD, you have also spoken about the future!”

David looked backward and forward at the same time. He saw the road God had already carried him down, and he heard the promise of where God would yet lead him. That is where gratitude grows. It grows when we remember. David said, “You have brought me this far.” 

He did not brag about his own strength. He sat before the Lord in wonder. Many of us lose joy because we forget yesterday’s goodness. But God was faithful then, and He will be faithful again. The God of your past is still the God of your present. And the God of your present is already waiting in your future. 

I’m Lonnie Davis and these are thoughts worth thinking.

Suggested Prayer: Lord, help me remember Your faithfulness of yesterday trust Your presence today, and rest in Your care to come.
