Isaiah 42:16 ” I will lead the blind by way they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.”

The founder of modern Nursing, Florence Nightingale, once wrote in her journal, ” God spoke to me and called me to His service.” So if we are to be His servants, we must first seek God’s guidance. Having had a Nursing career that spanned over 36 years, I’ve always admired Florence Nightingale’s life service to humanity & to God. But there were many times then, and even now as I care for my husband, that I was thrown into unfamiliar & frightening situations. But this Scripture in Isaiah makes it plain that God is continually walking beside me, removing obstacles that I can’t see, and instructing me to make my path straight. Or as Isaiah 26:7 says, “He goes before us, making our path level.” But the biggest comfort here is knowing that God is a merciful God that will neither leave or destroy or forget His Covenant promises. (Deuteronomy 4:31)
