An implication of genuine faith in the LORD is the realization that your life is a sacred trust and therefore everything matters… Nothing is trivial; nothing is inconsequential. In the world to come you will be shocked to understand that everything you thought, everything you said, and everything you did was given to you from above, and therefore has tremendous significance (Matt. 12:36-37). Indeed, your entire life is on loan from heaven itself. Therefore “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness…” (Matt. 6:33). Faith invests all of the heart to the journey at hand; it seeks God’s presence in all things and trusts God in all its ways (Prov. 3:5-6). “The present form (τὸ σχῆμα) of this world is passing away” (1 Cor. 7:31), and the heart of faith looks for a city whose designer and builder is God Himself (Heb. 11:10). “So we do not lose heart… For the things that are seen are turning to dust, but the things that are unseen endure forever” (2 Cor. 4:16-18).

“Know Him in all your ways,” that is, in all that you put your hand to do look for the Divine Presence and guidance (1 Cor. 10:31). As King David stated, “I have set the Lord always before me, because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved” (Psalm 16:8). The very first step of the journey is to find hope, and every subsequent step is marked by hope’s comfort. Therefore keep moving forward and don’t look back. Yeshua warned us that the person who puts his hand to the plow and then turns back is not fit for the kingdom of heaven (Luke 9:62). Keep focused on what is most essential; guard yourself from the world and its varied distractions. Make a place within your heart for the Divine Presence; find a quiet moment to listen for God’s comfort. Trust that God is on the road ahead for you; believe that God foresees your way and prepares a place for you. Ask for guidance from the Lord: “Cause me to know the way I should go, for I lift up my soul to you…” (Psalm 143:8).
