— Proverbs 3:5–6 (NKJV)
5 Points:

- True faith steps forward before seeing the full way.
The Road I Cannot See
I step forward though the morning is grey
my heart beats quietly in the mist
your voice steadies my hands
you speak before I ask
the path grows wider with each breath
Clouds stretch across the open field
I wonder if I walk too slow
but your presence covers my questions
each blade of grass bends toward your light
even my silence is enough
The stones shift under my feet
some are sharp, some are smooth
I remember you made the ground
you teach me how to tread gently
you teach me how to rise
I see no signs, no maps
only the sound of water ahead
you tell me the river knows your name
and so I step toward its song
without needing to understand
The sun leans against the hills
evening folds its quiet arms around me
I find myself standing where you led
though I never knew the way
your hand held my every breath
