climb.

"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 wandering how you're going to scale those heights. Meanwhile, because you'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 ahead. But you don't know what will happen today, much less tomorrow. Our path may take an 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 your min on the present journey, enjoying My Presence. Walk by faith, not by sight, trusting Me to open up the way before you."
-Sarah Young "Jesus Calling"

How quick am I to look at the foot of the mountain and think....it's too much, it's too high.
But then the Lord says to me "Trisha, I only ask that you take the first step and allow me to do the rest."

  2. Don't you love how that book takes verses from the Bible and just throws them at you and hits you straight in the face? I mean, it's pretty amazing. :)

    And such a good reminder this morning. Thanks Trisha!

  3. What a great reminder, Trisha! As a big thinker, I tend to forget to just focus on the "right now." It's a lot less overwhelming!
