 Though None Go With Me

There are moments in life when change comes. These moments can be both exciting and unsettling as they push us into unfamiliar territory. We often stand at the beginning of a new journey or at the edge of a crossroad wondering what the future holds. Our human desire is to see the entire path laid out before us, to feel secure by knowing the outcome in advance. Yet God does not always work that way. He calls us to step out in faith with trust that He is already in tomorrow.

The movie Though None Go With Me beautifully reminds us of this truth. The main character endures hardships, losses, and seasons of loneliness, yet she remains steadfast in her faith. Her life illustrates the very heart of discipleship. The road of faith is not always lined with companions or comfort. Sometimes it feels as though no one else is walking in the same direction. Yet the presence of Jesus makes all the difference.

When others seem absent, He is still there. Scripture assures us, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6). When uncertainty weighs heavily, He whispers peace, for “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” (Proverbs 3:5–6). When you feel weary, His strength becomes your strength, reminding us that “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint” (Isaiah 40:31).

For all who stand at a crossroad or who are facing significant change, remember that there is no turning back. The path forward may feel unfamiliar, but it is not unsafe, because the Lord walks with you. He promises never to leave you or forsake you. Trusting the process is not about trusting circumstances but about trusting the God who is in control of all things. You may not know what tomorrow brings, but you can rest in knowing Who holds tomorrow in His hands.

So keep moving forward with courage. Though none may go with you, you are never truly alone. The Lord who called you is faithful and He will walk with you every step of the way.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for walking with me even when the path feels uncertain and lonely. Give me the courage to take the next step in faith, trusting not in my own understanding but in Your unfailing presence. Remind me that I am never alone because You are always with me. Strengthen my heart to press on with hope and confidence in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Help! I Am A Worrier. Author : Sharon Campbell-Danvers, Shepherdess, Educator Theme : Contentment in Christ. Finding peace and joy in God regardless of circumstances Peace of mind is a valuable commodity that cannot have a price tag placed on it. If worrying was a product, I would be rich.  Peace of mind is precious and closely aligned with our mental health and well-being. Truth be told, so many things seek to distract us from what is truly important and what gives us true peace. This is a struggle for me. I need a piece of peace! A big slice. Whopper version, supersized. Women are confronted with many issues that impact their peace of mind. The woman with the issue of blood was in a deep place for twelve years (Mark 5:25-34). Mary and Martha watched their brother die and wept (John 11:1-44). The woman at the well was searching for deeper meaning in her life without even knowing it until she came in contact with Jesus (John 4:1-26). Hannah was troubled at home and could find no ...

Trust the Plan Theme : Trusting God's timing and purpose in your life. Author : Dr. Terry-Ann Robinson, Kings Seventh-day Adventist Church   For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11   I must admit I don't like waiting or uncertainty. I am one of those people who make a list for everything, and then I have a list to keep track of my list. I work very strictly with time, and I mentally take quite a few "chill pills" to control my emotions when things don't go according to plan. I have gotten better over the years, but my "chill pills" are still needed. For some time now, I have been asking God to show me His plan for my life. I want a glimpse of the plan. Instead of showing me the details of His plan, God responds with Jeremiah 29:11, saying He knows the plan.   But Lord, I want to know the plan too.   Why can't you just tell me the ...

March 16 Anxious but Anchored

Carol Nyack Shepherdess Cayman Islands Conference of SDA Theme: Trusting God when anxiety creeps in . It was a cool February evening, and I was reaching the end of my rope in more ways than one. I was partially laid up with a broken ankle, having just shattered my beautiful flowerpot. At the same time, vacuuming, and then, minutes later, discovered that my unlocked car had been ransacked during the night. I glanced at my husband resting on the sofa. He remained unbothered by my recounting of events. I then contacted our older son. While on the phone, my husband calmly said, "Ask him to come take me to the hospital." There was no complaint of pain, no urgency in his voice—just a quiet request. At this point, I knew prayer was more important than questioning.  Our son arrived, and just as my husband turned to kiss me and leave, I grabbed him to pray. On the way to the hospital, things took a drastic do...
