Good Morning,
Three more days and we will be home and I will be drinking some Door County Blueberry Cobbler Coffee. It is time to write.
Yesterday while visiting Yellowstone National Park our day took us into traveling at night. We packed a lot into one day. Exiting the park had us driving up one mountain and down another. Evening seems to bring out more animals to the roads. As we rounded a curve and started out descent to a lower elevation, we encountered 10 mountain goats blocking the road. They were a humorous bunch of little clowns. They had come up from below the mountain and were playing at the top.
My point for the day is this. God created the goats with the ability to climb mountains. The goats are sure footed and where we would stumble and crash many feet below, they are able to play.
We face many trials in our lives during our walk through this world. The trials might seem like mountains that we need to climb. We aren't always equipped to conquer those mountains alone. The death of a loved one, bitter divorce, or the loss of a job might keep us in the valley of despair. But with every mountain there is a hand available to help us climb to higher ground.
Isaiah 41:13 NIV For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, "Do not fear, I will help you."
The climb might be steep and long but we are never alone.
Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.
If you are reading this today, you have been prayed for.
God bless,
Marty
