Trail Markers

When winter ends and the snow melts, my heart continues longing to play in the mountains. So, I go hiking.

A few years ago I was hiking a trail called Lonesome Lake before work with my dog. Due to heavy rain, the usual trail I would take was closed from erosion. So, I took another trail to the lake. It continually amazes me how God's creation always points me to Him. Romans 1:20 tells us that no one can deny the existence of God because how His creation magnifies His glory. The trail I took was washed out and barely recognizable. In uncertainty, but trusting of trail markers, I followed it.

While on the trail, I realized I forgot my water bottle in the car. However, I remembered the AMC hut at the lake would have water. Often times, I'm unsure of the path God is leading me on, just as I was while following the trail that morning. However, by trusting in God, my uncertainty has always resulted in His provision. Similarly, that morning, the trust in trail markers led me to the hut where water was provided. God’s provision is so crazy awesome, check out Romans 8:32 on that subject.

We have a God who teaches and reminds us of His goodness through His creation and through the adventures we take! How cool is that? When we live life looking for God in everything around us, we see His truths covering over the entirety of it.
