“I don’t know what to do. I don’t know which way to go,” we are prone to say. Even in these New Testament times, the Urim and the Thummim give us real understanding about finding God’s will and getting His direction, for in whose care were the Urim and the Thummim? They were in the charge of the high priest (Numbers 27:21).

“I am the way,” said Jesus, our great High Priest. He didn’t say, “I’ll tell you the way,” or “I’ll point you to the way.” He said, “I am the way” (John 14:6).

One of my tasks as a pastor and teacher is to remind people of this constantly. People come seeking an answer, asking for direction. But what they need to do is simply cling to Jesus every hour, every minute. And then, because He is the way, they’ll end up in the right place.

At six months old, my granddaughter Bailey doesn’t say, “Mommy, how do I get to the mall?” She just stays close to Amanda, and believe me, she’ll get there! So too, like Bailey, we can say to the Lord, “I’m not going to be anxious about what I should do tomorrow. I’m just going to abide in You, cling to You today, close to Your heart, right by Your side. And I know I’ll end up exactly where I’m supposed to be.”
