What’s best about a walk in the park?
Having someone to share our experience with.
Look, a bluebird. Come smell this flower. Oh, isn’t that the prettiest view?
Couples with a lifetime of experiences might find comfort in the familiarity of the path, their hands linked, and walking in time with each other. They know the rhythm of their partner’s gait like the back of their hand.
But children are all energy and curiosity. A branch or a root is all it takes for a tumble, a scratched knee and tears.
“I didn’t know it was there. Help me up, please.”
Life is like that. We are exploring the path for the first time, all energy and curiosity. Eventually, we think, “What’s going to trip me up next?”
Isaiah 41:13 says:
"For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, 'Fear not, I am the one who helps you.'"
God has walked the path so many times. He knows every branch and root. The familiarity of the path is part of his nature. Like a grandparent with a grandchild, “Hold my hand. I know every step, and I’ll keep you safe.”
Then when we say, “How pretty,” God can let us walk closer, or he can say, “Not safe, my sweets,” and gently lead us away.
With your hand in God’s, your walk through this park we call life will be a journey you can enjoy. Look around you. Take it all in. Trust God to not let you wander, stumble or fall.
He loves you. He will watch over you every step of the way.
