It is morning in Delphi, the site of the famous oracles of Delphi from antiquity that attempted to forecast the events for generals, diplomats, rulers and people throughout the Hellenistic world. As I view this beautiful landscape that attracted so many, I am struck by the difference in the desire to have our fortunes told and the prophetic word of God that speaks to our present condition and shapes our hearts and lives for the future. God does not promise us the knowledge to see every detail of an upcoming event or day but does promise us that we can depend on His faithfulness and presence. Whatever comes our way is not the fate that God has determined for us and we can stand in hope that God is in control and that His grace is sufficient for our needs.
