Psalm 18:36 You cleared the ground under me so my footing was firm. (The Message)
We've had a lot of snow this year and as beautiful and awesome as snow can be, it can also be icy and slippery. The ice, all that ice, makes sure footing passé. And it's not just driving on the icy roads or shoveling frozen driveways or rooftops, it's walking in the woods as well. What about maneuvering through those large snow banks? I saw a woman with a chain saw the other day trying to get through a drift near her house.
What happens when we try to maneuver the snow banks of our lives or the ice under our feet? How many times do we have to fall?
I often fight to keep an upright stand and the more I fight, the more I fall. God says he will clear the ground under me so my footing is firm.
During my tough times, he has reached out and helped me. He has held my hand. He continually provides a way to help me stand. So why in the world do I fight?
