Enjoy 5 Short Stories from Scripture about Safe Travel

Shadows of Death – Psalm 23

When you travel, keep Psalm 23 in mind because God promises that “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me” (Psalm 23:4). One thing about shadows of death…they are not the reality. I’d rather get hit by the shadow of a semi than the semi itself.  The point being, we have no need to fear shadows of death.

His Plans, Not Ours – Proverbs 16

When we travel, things may not always go as planned, but we know that “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps” (Proverbs 16:9), meaning that God will establish our steps, walk, or travels, even though we had plans that differed in the beginning.

A Lighted Path – Psalm 119

Cars and trucks have headlights for very good reason, but we also know that God’s “word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105), so whether it’s off to grandmother’s house, a Christmas vacation, or a trip to the store, God’s Word illuminates our path along the way, and we need that in a world full of darkness.

Always With You – Matthew 28

Scripture teaches us that the Lord never forsakes us or leaves us, even when we forsake Him.  His promise to the disciples is the same promise for us, “behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20b), and that means He will be with us all the way into the kingdom.

A Wide Path – Psalm 18

The psalmist knew he could trust God, even in the hard places of life, so he wrote, “You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip” (Psalm 18:36).  Even though we might slip and fall, He is there to pick us up again, and place us on good footing, providing a wide path for our journeys in life.
