Excerpt from Jesus Calling:
“Follow me one step at a time… You see huge mountains looming and you start wondering how you’re going to scale those heights… I will equip you thoroughly for that strenuous climb. I will even give My angels change over you, to preserve you in all your ways.”
Perhaps this is why October moved so slowly. I saw only large mountains ahead. Each one was taller than the next. Each one was covered in deep, cold snow. The steep and slippery slope didn’t look inviting. The mountains wanted to be left alone. Because I didn’t know which of these mountains I would be climbing I kept my eyes down and focused on the path I was currently walking. I watched where my next step would go and nothing more.m I couldn’t consider climbing those mountains and since I didn’t know which one, I couldn’t handle being overwhelmed with wonder and worry.
Now that I think I know which mountain is ahead I have started looking at the mountains instead of my path. I’ve stopped focusing on my next step. Because my eyes are looking ahead to the daunting journey, I have more fear and weariness than anything else. Nothing has changed except where I focus my eyes.
