Stumbling Through the Easy

Good Morning Girls,

The week is almost over! You can do it! We have been praying for each of you and are thrilled that you are enjoying your first full week of school. What a blessing it is to have such an opportunity. As I was reading this morning in the lovely, Ms. Sarah Young's devotional, Jesus Calling, the Lord directed my eyes back towards the present. Read the following passage as a message from the mouth of Jesus to your heart.

"Follow me one step at a time. That is all I require of you. In fact, that is the only way to move through this space/time world. You see huge mountains looming, and you start wondering how you're going to scale those heights. Meanwhile, because your're not looking where you;re going, you stumble on the easy path where I am leading you now. As I help you get back on your feet, you tell Me how worried you are about the cliffs up ahead. But your don't know what will happen today, much less tomorrow. Our path may take and abrupt turn, leading you away from those mountains. There may be an easier way up the mountains than is visible from this distance. If I do lead you up the cliffs, I will equip you thoroughly for that strenuous climb. I will even give My angels charge over you, to preserve you in all your ways. 

Keep in mind on the present journey, enjoying My Presence. Walk by faith, not by sight, trusting Me to open up the way before you."

For He will give His angels charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways. They shall bear up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. 

Psalm 91:11-12

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:7

Is there a mountain in your life that your eyes are distracted by? The Lord does not desire for us to stumble through the present. Let's choose today to fix our eyes on the next step and allow the Lord to take care of what is ahead.
