Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
If you've read this blog before, you know I'm a runner. These days - early January - it's dark most of the time I run during weekdays. I wear a headlamp to light the trail I use, but it's still dark and hard to see. And I can't see at all in a distance or to the side of my path.
So I can definitely appreciate a straight (and smooth) path.
And it's true in life in general. Often, even if things seem a bit dim to this human mind, if I keep following him, the path is indeed straight.
