The Walk of Faith

Dark, thunderous clouds fill the sky covering the whole earth. Even the slightest glimpse of sunshine is quenched by the cumulonimbus.

You take a step of faith and walk outside.  Big balls of frozen ice begin to fall hitting you one-by-one. It hurts. It doesn’t make sense. But you keep walking. The dark clouds seem to get closer and closer. Each step is harder and more treacherous than the last. But you keep walking.

The further you walk the harder it gets. “This plodding is so rot with pain,” you mumble as you look ahead.

There in the distance is a ray of sunlight. You remember that beautiful inheritance. You know it’s coming. You keep walking.

It’s an act of valiant faith to put one foot in front of the other, but you keep walking.

You’re going to make it to the end. Weak. Tired. But hopeful, because of that little ray, that faint but Sure ray.

And when you get there you’ll realize, He has always been there.

 I lift up my eyes to the hills.

From where does my help come?

My help comes from the LORD,

who made heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot be moved;

he who keeps you will not slumber.

Behold, he who keeps Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD is your keeper;

the LORD is your shade on your right hand.

The sun shall not strike you by day,

nor the moon by night.

The LORD will keep you from all evil;

he will keep your life.

The LORD will keep

your going out and your coming in

from this time forth and forevermore.

(Psalm 121)
