"Though the light be hidden from me, yet will I walk - yet will I run after You"
I.LOVE.THIS.LINE.
What's crazy, is that 1 year ago (not quite to the day...but almost...) this lyric was what I put as my facebook status. It's so cool to realize that the reason those words resonated with me a year ago, are completely different reasons than why I have been mulling over them the past couple of days.
In this lyric, the "light", to me, represents God's will - God's plan for my life. The light represents the illumination of my future. What is AMAZING to me, is that those things that were hidden from me a year ago - those things that caused me so much confusion, desire, longing - those things that caused me to put every ounce of my trust in the Lord - those things that I was questioning --- have now been revealed to me. WOW! How cool is that??? I ran down the path toward God so.hard. BECAUSE the light was hidden from me - I desired to see that light so badly, that it compelled me to run hard after the Lord. And when I was lost in Him, He slowly began revealing to me His plans for me. The piece that had me questioning, is now in place in my life. What a gracious God.
Now, I am in a place where I have new unanswered questions. New concerns about my future (which is quickly becoming an "our" future...see above paragraph.... ;) ) I am in another stage of looking into the unknown. My prayer now, is that I can learn from the previous season I endured - learn to:
1.) TRUST in the Lord with all my heart, and lean not on my own understanding. Trust Him to show me exactly what I need to know, exactly when I need to know it - that I can trust Him with my whole life. It sounds so dumb when I realize my own unbelief - Lord I believe!!! Help my unbelief.
2.) run HARD after God. Not in order to gain revelation about my future, but because that is why I am alive! That is what I am wired for. Worshipping the Lord all the days of my life - running hard after Him. May that be true of me.
