There’s a stretch of highway I used to drive before sunup. I would see nothing but gray shapes and guesswork, mile markers swallowed whole by the dark.

You’d swear the road had disappeared. Then, so slow you almost missed it, a thin line of light would crack open the horizon. Not a flood. Not a flash. Just enough to see the next hundred yards.

Then I’d top a hill and there would be town. I was at my destination.

That’s the only kind of light God’s ever promised me.
I wanted the whole map once. Every turn, every mile laid out before I took the first step was what I wanted before starting my journey.

Took me a long while to understand that’s not how grace travels. It comes the way dawn comes: a little more light for the little more road you can see.

One prayer. One choice. One stubborn act of trust before the coffee’s even cooled.

Proverbs 4:18 says it plain, the path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.

So if your beginning looks thin right now. Maybe it looks like a blank page, a quiet prayer, a faith you’re not sure will hold your weight. Don’t you dare despise it. Sunrise never apologizes for starting slow.

Look back five years, ten. You’ll find the dark doesn’t sit on you the way it used to. You haven’t arrived. But friend, you are not where you started.

Keep walking or driving forward. The light’s already coming.

Lord, when the road looks dim, help me trust the light You’ve already given, and walk it faithful, one step at a time. Amen.
