Holding His hand...He holds onto mine even if I think I have let go of His. It can be like taking baby steps. I do think that in some areas we are to go forth in faith, even without a clear vision, but the scripture is very clear about having a vision and following His leading.

There are many bible stories in which God chose to lead his people in round about ways to arrive at the place or position He had in mind all along.

Sometimes to go ahead without a clear understanding of His will is not wise and in fact could be seen as rebellious by God...Look what happened when Abraham couldn't wait for God's promised child. He lacked faith.

Regardless of the particulars, I trust that if I mean well and pray "thy will be done" God will stop me from going down the wrong path and will protect me if my heart is right and I have faith.
