Foreign Lands

As I type this I am in the midst of packing and listening to my faithful IPod. The song that is playing got me to thinking, it's Minds Eye by DC Talk and in it they sing that we walk through foreign lands, just as the Israelis did. They walked through foreign lands literally, but I put that statement into my own life. How do I "walk through foreign lands" with the Lord? I pose that question to you...how do you want through foreign lands? Is it in the literal sense as the Israelis did? Or is it the figurative sense? Figuratively, I walk through foreign lands everyday. I wouldn't have said that seven months ago. I don't think that I could have put the connection together in that way. Figuratively, He has lead me through this foreign land of widowhood, walked with me every step of the way. He was with the Israelis every step of the way too and the good news is that He didn't lead them to places just to leave them there. He lead them to places where they would succeed, where He would show Himself to them, and eventually where they were to stay in the promised land. He never left them, nor forsook them...
