"The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hind's feet and he will make me walk upon mine high places" - Habakkuk 3:19
I've been thinking a bit about the roads we take, journey's of sorts. Possibly because I feel like I'm going to begin a new one soon and things are changing so fast. I finished Hind's Feet on High Places, and I realized how often my journey has been like the protagonist, Much-Afraid. But our God is good, and though we often look back and listen to the fears that follow us on our journey, He's always but a call away. Often times we think about how hard this is. I find myself looking up to the heavens and breathing out a "Why me God?". It's funny. Because I know the kind of person I want to be, the flexible clay I want Him to see me as. But then often times we are not willing to get to that point. How else does the clay get soft and flexible but to kneed it and press out the lumps that keep it from being so soft? I often wish for the easier way, the narrow path becomes too much to bear, and I wonder what I've gotten myself into. Doing the crazy things God calls us to do, the things we thought we would never find ourselves in? - its as if we've reached a place where it doesn;t matter what He calls us to do, we are willing to do antyhing for this person, this perfectly beautiful person, in our lives. That is truly laying down our lives, when we become secondary and understand He can hold us even when things are tough, when we are ok with that and give our hnad to His in order to continue. To look back at the hard moments we encountered and overcame, we can refelct on how that hopefully made us stronger. How else can character be carved but out of the trials and tribulations, the narrow path, that leads us to become but a willing servant to the God who sacrificed so much more? |
