Help is on the way

"If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?" Jeremiah 12:5

This verse always catches my attention.

God, like any healthy parent, wants His kids to grow in strength and wisdom. How do we do that?

By being in situations where we struggle and are challenged.

No Challenge, No Change!

God's plan for you is to go from faith to faith, strength to strength and from glory to glory.

That is only accomplished as we face trials and difficulties so our faith can increase...or not! It's our choice!

We can wimp out and stay immature or we can stand tall in Him and head into the wind knowing 'this is good for me.' Romans 1:17; II Corinthians 3:18 and Psalm 84:7

I remember taking a course recently that cost me thousands of dollars. I was so eager to grow in that area. The challenges they made us do were SO scary. I was nervous, my mind went blank, I sweat buckets, but I forced myself to give it a go!

I got through it although I was physically shaking while participating.

I didn't die! I survived! I won a personal victory that day! Woot Woot!

I challenge you to invest in yourself to learn new skills, sharpen old ones. Take on new challenges. Do things outside of your normal routine...stretch and grow!
