Literally, I was lost in the woods at Pomme de Terre Lake this past weekend.

Anyone who knows me well knows I love walking. And one of my favorite places to walk is out in God’s creation. I’m not the super adventurous type, I like gravel or concrete paths.

Despite being lost I was blessed with new life all around – trees, flowers, nesting birds. Experienced a flight of geese taking off from a pond, small and large droplets of water spurting everywhere. I came across the largest blackbirds I had ever seen. I was hoping they were nice as they filled the path I was taking. When they flew you could hear the whooshing of their wings loud and clear. I prayed God would handle them for me and I made it safely through.

The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”
Deuteronomy 31:8 NASB1995‬

The idea of walking in God’s creation takes me back to God walking with Adam and Eve in the Garden. When I’m out in nature I walk with God. I talk with God. I sing praises to God. When I come out of the “garden” I’m a new person, refreshed and renewed.

This particular day I was totally enthralled with God and got lost. I came to a crossroad and stopped. I tried GPS to no avail. I prayed. Nothing looked familiar but as I looked down both paths the narrower one looked more inviting than the other wider path so I took the inviting one. As I walked I saw more familiar things like bridges and benches that I had not seen in quite awhile. I eventually saw buildings, not familiar but thought there must be people there. So I headed that direction. I found a paved road!!! Hallelujah!!!
I prayed again and here comes a truck with a young man in it. I flagged  him down, explained my dilemma and where I was parked. He knew where I was supposed to be and drove me back to my vehicle. It was probably a half mile away.

God promised ‭
I will also walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.

Back to the choice I made at the two paths. I listened and followed the Holy Spirit’s guiding. I chose the right road and I was saved.

Life has many roads to choose but the right one leads you to safety.

For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Matthew 7:14 NASB1995‬

I was very grateful for the day God had given me.

I was lost, but now I’m found.
I trusted and believed God would save me and He did. To God be the glory.
