Have you ever played peek-a-boo with babies? They have no idea where you went. Or have you ever been on a Zoom call when you are suddenly put into breakout rooms? The large group disappears and a smaller group appears. Perhaps you have even been in a maze and couldn’t find your way out. And sometimes, like the words of Dr. Seuss say, “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”—yet you still have no idea which way to go.
In many ways, life feels like that. One moment things seem clear, and the next moment everything changes. At times you can feel like a silhouette—no clear features, just a shadow trying to find its way. Life begins with small owies when you are a child, but as you grow older the hurts often become much bigger. Small problems turn into heavy burdens, difficult decisions, and painful disappointments.
So where do we turn when life feels confusing and uncertain? King Solomon gives a simple but profound answer:
Ecclesiastes 12:13–14
“The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.”
When the path ahead seems unclear, Solomon reminds us that our purpose is not found in having every answer, but in trusting God, obeying Him, and walking faithfully one step at a time.
