He Leadeth Me: Trusting God in Uncertain Times

“He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.” (Ps 23:3, NKJV)

We live in a time when many people are uncertain about their future. Companies are laying off employees, experienced workers are searching for new opportunities, and many recent graduates are discovering that earning a degree does not guarantee a job. Behind these realities are people carrying anxiety, disappointment, and questions: “What will happen to me? How will I provide for my family? Where is God leading me?”

It is in such moments that the hymn “He Leadeth Me” offers profound comfort:

“He leadeth me, O blessed thought!
O words with heavenly comfort fraught!”

“Lord, lead me in Your righteousness because of my enemies;
Make Your way straight before me.” (Ps 5:8, NASB)

When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” (1 Cor 15:52)

If I had a dream, it would be expressed through the hymn “When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder.”

Once, while standing by the piano at my hometown church, we sang this hymn. As the melody filled the room, I closed my eyes and silently prayed, asking God to let me be there when the roll is called up yonder. In that moment, I felt that God had heard me, acknowledging my prayer with a flicker of His glorious light.

Because He is faithful, that brief, less-than-a-minute prayer marked the beginning of a lifelong journey of submission and trust under His guidance.

Faith Is the Victory

“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” (1 Jn 5:4)

Being laid off is a reality many face. The fear of losing a job is a common threat, especially for older workers. Older employees are often among the first to be downsized and tend to remain unemployed longer. After receiving my layoff notice, I prayed and felt assured that God would help me. However, God’s promise did not exempt me from putting in the effort to acquire the skills required for the job market.
