"In the shadow" each of us must go there sometimes. It is the shadow of God's hand. He is leading you, and there are lessons that can be learned only where He leads. But do not assume that He has pushed you aside. He has not thrown you away as something worthless. He is only keeping you nearby until the moment comes when He can send you quickly and confidently on some mission that will bring Him glory. "In the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver."(Isa.49:2) SITD
