Have you ever watched an episode of the original Star Trek? There’s a line from Captain James T. Kirk that you’d hear frequently. Imagine the scene of that ultra futuristic space ship moving through space, jumping from galaxy to galaxy, and the words can be heard as you watch: “to boldly go...”
Now I don’t know about you, but I figure some of those fictional characters may have been into that going boldly thing. But there were definitely others who would not. They didn’t need to have any modicum of boldness - being on the United Federation of Planets Star Ship Enterprise, NCC-1701, was probably as close as they got to any degree of boldness.
Unless they wore a red shirt, in which case they wouldn’t make the end credits.
As Christians we can have absolute boldness in our Creator. He literally holds the universe in His hands, because He spoke it into being and knows it in all its glory!
And, yet, He didn’t speak you and me into being. The Bible tells us He knits us together in our mother’s womb. There is randomness, or happenstance that precedes us being alive and kicking.
And is that same Creator who knows the very number of hairs on our head. If you’re bald, that may not sound so exciting, but He knew how many hairs you had on your head when you had hair, even if you can’t remember those times.
Walking with God can be nerve wracking. But we need never feat the path before us if we truly seek to walk it with God guiding us, because He is the best guide we could dream of.
Just a thought…
