Paths and crossroads are places on our journey. Paths are the streets and roadways we travel on our Journey and crossroads represent points of decision. Sometimes we get confused and don’t know which way to go - should I go left or right or maybe keep straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6 gives us direction for our Journey. It says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.” NASB
The New Living translation says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do and He will show you which path to take.
As the women’s mission team prepares to go to Rwanda our desire is to trust in the Lord and not ourselves. We want to serve the women and children in Kayonza, Kageyo and Kigali as God’s representatives. It can be a bit scary traveling to another country so far away from our own and culture so different from our own. But we are encouraged that as we trust God and seek His will in our service He will show us which path to take, how to serve and communicate God’s love.
We have examples of others in scripture who God called to a specific mission and they responded by trusting in the Lord. Moses trusted God to lead the people out of Egypt, Joshua followed Moses and led the people to the Promised Land, Gideon trusted the Lord in battle and Paul trusted the Lord on his missionary journeys.
The women on our team are trusting God to use us to encourage women and children in Rwanda to “Trust in the Lord with all their heart” too.
