Finding Hope in Insecurity With Amy CarmichaelSample

The next step

If the next step is clear, then the one thing to do is to take it. Don’t pledge your Lord or yourself about the steps beyond (Prov. 27:1). You don’t see them yet.

Once when I was climbing at night in the forest before there was a made path, I learned what the word meant, Psalm 119:105: “Thy word is a lantern to my path.” I had a lantern and had to hold it very low or I should certainly have slipped on those rough rocks. We don’t walk spiritually by electric light but by a hand lantern. And a lantern only shows the next step—not several ahead.
