A Choice

Many days, life seems like an uphill battle, where we are fighting against the current, working hard to maintain our equilibrium. Exhausted from the battle, it’s tempting to throw up our hands in disgust and quit. That’s when we should realize we have a choice. We can choose to surrender our burdens to the Lord! What would happen if we followed the example in Habakkuk 3 and turned a cartwheel of joy in our hearts—regardless of the circumstances— then leaned in and trusted His rule to prevail? Think of the happiness and peace that could be ours with a total surrender to God’s care. It’s a decision to count on God’s rule to triumph. And we must realize His Word, His rule, never fails. Never. Then we must want to stand on that Word. Taking a giant step, armed with scriptures and praise and joy, we can surmount any obstacle put before us, running like a deer, climbing the tall mountains. With God at our side, it’s possible to be king of the mountain.

Prayer: Dear Lord, I need Your help. Gently guide me so I might learn to lean on You and become confident in Your care. Amen.
