Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.
Psalm 77:19
God's footprints were not seen, even though he was leading the way through the mighty waters. This is important to remember in easy times and in challenging times.
As God starts providing blessings, its important to realize that even if you don't see His footprints, He is working in the background. Recognizing and acknowledging this is an easy way to bring glory to the Giver. When we are thankful for what God has done, we're more likely to continue noticing Him working. When we stop focusing on God, and think that we are receiving good things because we've done good, or because we inherently deserve good things, we lose sight of our God and become proud.
In times that are hard, we must trust in this verse and hold tight to the promise that God has a path for us even when we don't see His footprints. We must keep looking for Him and trying to understand His path as we're going through it. Can you imagine how much faith it took to walk through the parted Red Sea? With the water stories above you on both sides? Life is sometimes like that. But we must keep going and trust that when we come through, we will see that God has been working all along.
Praise God that He is with us in the good times and the bad. Pray for revelation to see His path and to follow His lead.
