“For we live by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7)

There is no more terse or apt a description of life than that. We simply do not know what is going to happen in the next half hour. What hubris to think that we control anything!

In the words of the enduring hymn, “I need Thee every hour / Most Gracious Lord / No tender voice like Thine / Can peace afford.”

Lead on, most gracious Lord, for we cannot see.

“O God, whose Son Jesus is the good shepherd of your people; Grant that when we hear his voice we may know him who calls us each by name, and follow where he leads; who, with you and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.”
