Uphill Battle

Trudge, trudge, trudge up that hill and do not despise small beginnings because God is in the sweat as we persevere and keep moving in followship of Him. Sometimes God leads us uphill. Sometimes it is hard to follow Him, not knowing exactly where we are going. Ever felt that way, ever said: Slow down God, I can’t keep up?

Oh No! A Life Detour Ahead! Sometimes I am not even sure what my next step is? Walking up hill, not knowing what I will meet at the top. I don’t like that… do you? It is way outside my comfort zone. When I am walking uphill for a long period of time, it feels hopeless to me, and I find myself in the shadow of doubt, the shadows of life where there is no sunshine and I begin despising that sudden detour, finding my eyes glued on the detour, I trip up, I stumble, I flesh out.

These times I find myself lost in the shadows of life, I stop, I pray and I look from where I have come. Then I see the crooked places God has made straight, I see God’s faithfulness and I know He is trustworthy. When the dust in my soul settles, I see Jesus, so I step out once again in the wisdom I know, in followship of Him.

In those dark places, in the shadows of life it can be very discouraging and hopelessness can set in our soul. Yet, even in the shadows, God is with us. Yes, even in the shadows of life, the dark places, stay in followship of God, step by step. He will give us enough light for our next step. Take that next step forward today and walk in the wisdom you know. Because God will make crooked places straight: this is the way, walk in it… and when we follow after Him, He leads us into the SONshine. God delivers us out of all of our shadows and He is the joy in the shadow. God bless ya.

Isaiah 30:21 Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left.
