Description
Soon after Jamie Buckingham was diagnosed with inoperable cancer, he went to see his 92-year-old mother, who was in a nursing home. He told her, “I am committed to seeking God at every intersection that is ahead of me.”
But her reply stunned him. “No, son. You can’t do that,” she said, “because you are walking in a land that has no paths. There are no intersections, because where you are going, there are no trails. You’re entering a land that has no paths. Instead, you must seek God at every step. Don’t wait for the times of decision, but seek Him with every step you take.”
Suddenly Jamie knew that was where God had wanted him to be all along. “I have done so much in my own strength,” he realized. “I have waited until the big crises came, then I would seek God.”
This is a story for anyone who is entering a crisis and wants to learn to seek God’s will, not just for the important decisions ahead, but for every minute of every day. As you walk through your own land that has no paths, you can confidently trust God with every step you take.
