Turning, walking, trusting

With the new school year only a week away and an overarching feeling of The Unknown in other aspects of my life, today’s verse from my Daily Bible app really spoke to me:

“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it” (Isaiah 30:21, NIV).

I’ve written before about waiting (and how it isn’t my strong suit). I find it is much easier to wait for an anticipated outcome (ie, like a birthday, which No. 4 is completely obsessive about, even though his isn’t until the end of October). It is far more difficult to wait for The Unknown. I feel like Paul Atreides in Dune, where he envisions dozens of possible outcomes, based on choices and consequences of his present circumstances — some self-selected and other scenarios imposed upon him.
