All the paths of the Lord are loving and faithful
Psalm 25:10
"All does not mean 'all - except the paths I am walking in now,'
or 'nearly all - except this especially difficult and painful path.'
All must mean all.
So, your path with its unexplained sorrow or turmoil,
and mine with its sharp flints and briers -
and both our paths,
with their unexplained perplexity,
their sheer mystery - they are His paths,
on which he will show Himself loving and faithful.
Nothing else; nothing less.
