Scripture

“You know the way to the place where I am going.” — John 14:4

Quiet Reflection

Jesus’ words are calm assurance to hearts anxious about the unknown. He reminds His followers that they already know the way—because they know Him. Faith doesn’t erase uncertainty; it transforms it into trust. The Way isn’t a route on a map, it’s a relationship with Christ Himself.

Sanctuary Lens

At Dalo Acres, the lesson of John 14:4 shows up in every rescued soul. Horses and dogs step into strange barns and new hands, yet they slowly learn that love leads them somewhere safe. Just as they follow steady voices, we follow God’s. Even when the path winds through pain or fog, His presence is proof we’re not lost.

Guiding truth: You may not see the destination, but if you know the Shepherd, you’re already on the right trail.

Devotional Thought

Faith isn’t about certainty; it’s about closeness. When Jesus says, “You know the way,” He invites us to trade our need for control for the peace of companionship. Stay near Him. Listen. Walk forward even when the horizon fades. The steps of trust are the proof of faith itself.

Practice for Today

Pray: “Lord, teach me to trust You when I can’t see what’s next. Remind me that knowing You is knowing the way.”

Act: Offer reassurance to someone who’s anxious today—your calm might be their first glimpse of peace.

Rest: Step outside and breathe. Watch the quiet order of the pasture. The same God who guides the wind guides you.
