Faith
“The sky is falling, the sky is falling,” I heard them say. I laughed in jest
until it all came crashing down. The rubble caved in upon me making
breathing difficult. It was challenging to see through the thick fog.
We’ve all been there before. Someone catches us off guard and the rug is
pulled from beneath our feet. Something as simple as standing is not so
easy anymore, not in our own strength. We find that strength is in the
Solid Rock, our firm foundation.
Jesus felt a weight of another magnitude when He prayed in the garden.
He was in agony. The garden is a place full of beautiful roses, but there are
also thorns that pierce us. To experience the Light, we must know darkness.
For joy to have meaning, we must have known sorrow.
The deserts, valleys and wilderness are on the pathway as we journey toward
the mountain. There is so much to learn on this journey. There are times
when it is easier to rest in Him and trust that there is a future of hope. At other
times it takes a deeper level of faith to keep believing for the best. Through
the storms that rage and rain pouring down, deeper faith and character are being
formed in the vessel. This is a slow process which takes much time.
Father, help us to stand firm in You and endure the testing of our faith. Amen
