A recent adventure I took left me completely in the dark on a very bumpy road on a motorcycle. There were some times when I didn't think I could continue because I couldn't even really see the road in front of me, but we had to continue. It got me thinking about sight or in this case, the lack thereof.
It seems sometimes in life we have to take that initial first step into the darkness before the Lord lights the pathway or leads us along it. The Lord expects us to take that first step after which He'll guide us the rest of the way. Well, unfortunately in this situation the road did not become lighter after I took my first few steps into the dark. But I do feel that there were some times when I took the least "bumpy" part of the road (but don't know how since I couldn't see!).
He didn't lead me the entire way (I have a few bumps to prove it) but I will say that I didn't feel abandoned by Him.
With that said, here is a quote I found on sight.
"Courage brother, do not stumble, though thy path be dark as night: There is a star to guide the humble, trust in God, and do the right. Let the road be dark and dreary and its end far out of sight. Face it bravely, strong or weary. Trust God, and do." - Norman Schwarzkopf
