Where the Path Disappeared Beneath My Feet

“He led them by a way they did not know.” (Isaiah 42:16)

I walked among many rows and found nothing that answered my call.

The sign I pressed no longer spoke.

What once moved when summoned now remained hidden.

I searched for a place where directions are given,

but the counters were empty

and those who passed by did not know my name.

Then I understood

I was not lost from my way

but from the means by which I once traveled.

The Lord had taken away the vehicle

so that my feet might learn the ground again.

I stood still and the noise faded.

I no longer asked where to go

but Who was near.

And in that stillness I was found.
