Daily Lesson for May 2, 2016

Today's Daily Lesson comes from Psalm 77 verse 19:

Your way was through the sea,
your path through the great waters;
yet your footprints were unseen.

God goes before us. Into the sea of death, through the great waters of tumult, into the pit of fire.

Mortal eyes cannot see God there. He is not visible with cornea or pupil. A picture would prove to the world that we are all alone.

But the eyes of faith behold what the aperture cannot capture -- the footprints of one who goes before us, the image of one beside whose face is like the Son of Man.

No eye has seen it. No photograph can prove it.  But she who follows the earth's inescapable way into the sea knows that she is not alone.

"When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
When you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you come through the fire,
the flames will not consume you,
and you shall not be burned . . .
Do not be afraid, for I am with you."
(Isaiah 43:2,3 & 5)
