"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9.

When God told Joshua to take the people into the promised land, he was sure of one thing: it would not be and easy road. His first challenge was to cross a river at flood stage. Then he had to go beyond a great wall guarded by enemy soldiers. Joshua found out that all that God was expecting from him, was to have faith and keep moving toward the promise. I heard of the story of a young girl traveling on a train for the first time and she heard that she had to cross several rivers. She was troubled and fearful as she thought of the water, but each time the train came near to a river, a bridge was always there to provide a safe way across. After passing safely over several rivers and streams, the girl settled back in her seat with a sigh of relief. She turned to her mother and said, "I’m not worried anymore. Somebody has put bridges for us all the way!" God is already ahead of you in all the circumstances of your life. Keep moving toward the promise. He will be there to care for you!
