Have you ever faced something that seemed like a mountain before you? As you stood at the bottom, or the beginning of a task, it seemed absolutely and completely overwhelming, and possibly impossible. There is not a person on the face of this earth that hasn’t found themselves at this very place at some point in their lives. There have been seasons that I’ve been through where it seemed like a battle I faced daily!
It is at these crossroads in life, however, that we find out what we are truly capable of. Where we find the end of our own strength and capabilities, and we take a leap into the supernatural strength and courage that comes as we step out in faith into the unknown.
We have a dream or a promise from God that seems no more than a mirage, but we believe God….we push through the fear of failure…through the what if’s, and we recognize that if it is something that God has placed in our hearts, that we cannot fail. We set aside all things that would hold us back, and with confidence move forward, because God tells us in His word,
“I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
Philippians 4:13
This is one of my all time favorite scriptures. It has and is stretching me to live beyond the norm, to live beyond myself, and to dare to live the life that God Himself marked out for me!
