The Ascent

DAY 13 OF 15

STICKING TO THE PLAN

Have you ever stopped to think about what drives you? What is it that keeps you going even if you’re having a bad day? There needs to be som}ething deeper than just what we do. It’s about why we do what we do. It’s about connecting and aligning what you do to God’s purposes.

Don’t underestimate the power of consistency. Character is developed more in the valleys than on the mountaintops. When we choose to keep doing what’s right even when we don’t feel like it. Small things done consistently makes a big impact over time. Over time, we grow in character and will see results of our commitment to keep going.

If we know why we are doing what we are doing, then how could we give up? It gives us the determination to choose what’s right, one more day at a time.

About this Plan

The Ascent

The Ascent… is an invitation to climb. It’s an invitation to proximity. It’s an invitation to intimacy. In the Old Testament there are 15 psalms of ascent. They are songs that Israel sang on their way to celebrate God at festivals. They express amazing grace and they quiet anxious fears. They are songs that provide courage and support as we travel the road of faith and discover who we are and what God’s called us to. It has been said that the Psalms of Ascent are like placing your feet in the footprints of others and reminding ourselves to be moved again; to keep walking forward in the direction of God. This devotional is an invitation to lift our eyes and to ascend the heights; to becoming Jesus’ climbing companions.
