"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9.
When God told Joshua to take the people into the promised land, Joshua was sure of one thing: it would not be an easy road. His first challenge was to cross a river at flood stage, then he had to go beyond a great wall guarded by enemy soldiers. Joshua, however, found out that all that God expected from him was faith to step toward the promise, to keep moving forward, and to keep listening for guidance along the way.
I heard of the story of a young girl traveling on a train for the first time and she heard that she had to cross several rivers. She was troubled and fearful as she thought of the water, but each time the train came near to a river, a bridge was always there to provide a safe way across. After passing safely over several rivers and streams, the girl settled back in her seat with a sigh of relief. She turned to her mother and said, "I'm not worried anymore. Somebody has put bridges for us all the way!"
God is already ahead of you putting bridges and steps for your safety and direction along your way. Where there is no bridge, the water will divide. Have faith, step toward the promise and keep moving forward. God's glory goes before you and His glory guards you from behind. "Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard." Isaiah 58:8.

The LORD my God is with me and goes before me to light my path.
