“By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.”
Hebrews 11:8
Today, many of us feel stuck, on hold, even in retreat. We are not sure where we are going. In fact, we are certain we are not going anywhere, as we sit in our homes, hoping that this grave circumstance will change and we can go–somewhere! Even those who are out and serving in the health crisis are managing in a state of uncertainty. But God is always leading us somewhere. Faith is staying the course with God even when we don't have any idea where we are going. How we do that is unique to each. Some have heard from the Lord, others are leaning on the promises we read in The Word, while still others yield the day, the circumstances, or the questions to the Lord in prayer. There are endless combinations, as well. We are all called to follow and serve in a myriad of different ways. However you are following Him, there is a promise fulfilled at the end. He is faithful. As His family, we are promised an inheritance in Jesus. In the gray mist of this present life, we can remember that however confused or lost we might feel, Jesus is not lost. And our obedience to God's call will bring us to the place where we belong.

Lord, as we tread through uncertainty, help us stay full of faith, and remember the place you are leading us is altogether good.
