Footprints in the Sand

I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My
people. Leviticus 26:12
You may have heard the story called "Footprints." Its the
story of a man who had a dream. In his dream he was walking
along the beach with the Lord. Scenes from his life falshed
across the sky. For each scene, he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand--one belonging to him and the other
to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before
him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He
noticed that many times along the path of his life there
were only one set of footprints. He also noticed that only
one set appeared during the lowest and saddest times in his
life. This really bothered him, and he questioned the Lord
about it. "Lord, You said that once I decided to follow
You, You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed
that during the most troublesome time times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why
You weren't there when I needed you most. You said You
would never leave me." The Lord replied,"My son, My
precious child, I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only
one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you." Can
you catch what this story is saying? No matter what kind of
situation you go through, the Lord is going to be right
there with you. Don't forget it. You never have to walkk
alone again. He's the One who walks with you.
Psalm 23:4, Proverbs 3:23-26, Hebrews 13:5
