Title: Trusting Safely

Text: Proverbs 11:7, Daniel 5
Hey, welcome to Mission Hills. So good to have you with us this weekend. It's good for me to be back. We had a couple weeks off, and as some of we took a little bit of a different vacation this year. Glenn and I went to Scotland and we hiked the West Highland away. So between the actual hike and the walking we did prior to it, we covered about 130 miles in two weeks.
And if you're wondering, that's a lot of miles. But actually it's really, it was actually very refreshing. It may not seem like that would be a refreshing kind of vacation, but actually really glad we did it. Although I will be honest there, there was one moment where I was questioning the wisdom of our decision.
It was the third day of the hike and we were just on this section of a trail. We were walking around lock lomond and it was just, it was a part of a trail that was just kicking our butts. There was a whole lot of 50 feet up and then 50 feet down and just rocks or, and it was just and I looked at, we had this guide thing on the phone and I looked at it and it said, this section should take an hour.
And we were a good two and a half hours into this thing. And I was like, something is wrong. And so I started looking and I realized, oh yeah, we're off trail. Yeah, we are not on the West Island way anymore, and I remembered when it happened there, there'd been a section, we'd been walking along a trail and we came to a place where there was another trail that kinda went off to the side, but the trail we were on continued straight on, and there was a little bit of a moment we're like which direction should we go?
And we looked ahead and we saw that a bunch of people who had been hiking in front of us all day, they'd left where we'd been staying that morning about the same time. And they were just very confidently going down. I was like obviously that's the trail. So we just did that. And I know you're like, rooki ...
