Pushing Through

I have been getting up an hour earlier each morning and have started walking before work.
The stars are still in the sky and haven't yet given a sleepy nod to the sun and disappeared. The morning is still cool and sweet smelling, with a hint of bacon and coffee in the air. Birds are beginning to stir in the trees as morning shakes us from slumber to face another day.

I've enjoyed this solitary time, just me and the Lord, talking about everything. Praying and praising the mighty King knowing he is with me every step of the way.

There is one part of my walk that is "tough" on these old legs. There is a grade to the road and each morning I feel I can't do it! I want to quit ! Turn around and go back the easier way! I want to give up and give in.

There have been many times and situations in my life that I have felt those same feelings. Then I hear that small still voice inside encouraging, assuring, and pushing me through.
That voice that says you can do it, don't give in or give up, fight the good fight. Try harder, pray longer, surround yourself with me and you can conquer any hill, take any mountain, and face anything this world can use against you.

All we need to do in this life is lean on the Cross when we are weary and tired, read His Word when we lack knowledge and strength and Pray His peace and love over our lives when we feel we just can't push through.......

Acts 20: 24
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the Gospel of the Grace of God
