Dear friends,

God invites us to move from distress toward trust. Jesus provides the deepest picture of that in his willing obedience to the Father’s will even unto death. But more than heroic faith, God calls us to a life placed in his hands.

Years ago, before GPS made travel nearly effortless, losing the road at night could be unsettling. A familiar landmark might disappear, a turn could be missed, and suddenly nothing looked right. The wisest thing was often to stop, look carefully at the map, and recover your bearings rather than drive faster in the wrong direction.

There are seasons when faith feels something like that. We cannot see very far ahead. Prayer seems unanswered, circumstances remain stubbornly unchanged, and we feel tempted to force our own way forward.

In that place of restlessness, our confidence rests less in our ability to understand the road than in the character of the Lord who meets us there. God has acted before, and that remembered mercy becomes the ground for present confidence.

Jesus embodies faithful obedience by entrusting himself completely to the Father’s purpose. He accomplishes what our wavering obedience never could. That is why our hope rests on something firmer than our capacity to hold ourselves together. Christ has gone before us. When the road is obscure, we may still entrust ourselves to the God whose faithfulness has already been made known in him.

In Christ’s love,

Pastor Randy
