Good Morning,
I am awake and ready to roll! I have in front of me a very hot cup of Door County Vanilla Hazelnut Coffee and it is time to write.
Sometimes it seems that we have more struggles than strength . It is like duck hunting in a fog filled marsh and you want to make it to the shore. You row and row your boat and you aren't sure just how far from the shore you are. You get frustrated and quit. When the fog clears you see that if you had rowed three more minutes you would have found the shore.
When we agree to perform a task or step out in faith, we will encounter a boatload of resistance designed to discourage us. The fog of discouragement clouds our view of God and His guiding hand. We begin to trust what we can see and choose not to follow our faith that is not always seen.
Hebrews 11:1 NKJV Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Whatever you are called to, mending a broken relationship, being gracious one more time , being generous one more time, teach one more class, preach one more sermon, teach your children to behave again, "Don't Quit". Keep rowing, keep running, keep preaching, be patient one more time, the victory might just be up ahead and around the next morning.
Isaiah 46:4 NKJV Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs, I will carry you. I have made you and I will bear. Even I will carry you and deliver you.
Again, don't quit. Continue the race, breathe deep and move forward.
Proverbs 30:5 NKJV Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him
You are not alone and the fog is always temporary.
Marty
