A young girl, unaccustomed to traveling, was taking a train ride through the country, and it happened that in the course of the day her train was obliged to cross two branches of a river and several wide streams. The water seen in advance always awakened doubts and fears in the child. She did not understand how it could safely be crossed. As they drew near the river, however, a bridge appeared, and furnished a way over. Two or three times the experience was repeated, and finally the child leaned back with a long breath of relief and confidence. “Somebody has put bridges for us all the way!” she said in trusting content.

Will Jesus build bridges for us, like He did when He went to the cross and died for our sins? Indeed He will! But the question is, will we trust Him?
Taking on the challenges of this life, by ourselves seems to be the norm. But how disappointing in so doing, we find ourselves unable to bring about the right results. The bridges the Lord builds for us (to build to better relationships, or to better circumstances, may take time. But it is better to wait in faith, than to panic, and try to hurry results, that may not develop by our efforts.
We need to build our confidence in the Lord, by staying in His Word, and trusting that He will calm the storms in our lives, and in due time, build those bridges that will help us cross over to victory in our lives! GP
