The Sparrow's Table

Today we went on a small hike together as a family.

As we walked the trails, I was reminded of the narrow path and how God’s Word is a lamp to our feet.

My husband led the way, and I walked behind. The kids stayed between us. They were free to look around and explore, unafraid.

But whenever one stepped off the trail, they would trip or struggle on uneven ground. When one ran too far ahead, they would stop and come back because they felt scared. And when one fell along the way, we were quick to pick them up, brush them off, and help them keep going.

It felt like such a clear picture of our walk with the Lord.
His ways keep us on steady ground.

When we wander, the path becomes harder than it needs to be. When we run ahead on our own, fear follows.
And when we fall, He is near to lift us and help us walk again.

Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Grateful for the reminders God weaves into ordinary days. 🤍
