A man was traveling on a long distance journey. He knew that the journey won't be easy but he would go anyways. He then remembered that there was someone who can make all things beautiful in His own time. He prayed and sought for divine assistance; making a covenant with the Ancient of days to send him to his destination safely. On the wings of eagles , he sought that God should raise him through all his journey. Through the thick and thin, till he reaches safely.
As he journeyed on, he felt another footsteps behind as he made his own way through. He could see the footprints whenever he turned back to see who it was , yet saw nobody behind him. He then remembered that there was a guardian angel walking with him on the pilgrim pathway.Happily he journeyed on to his destination, singing and feeling safe in his pilgrimage.
At a point of his journey, he went empty , feeling that the angel had left but yet in a moment, he sees the footprints.He then came to a point where the road was slippery and muddy and just ahead of him was a river to cross to continue his journey. At this point of pessimism he turned to see if the angel had left or was still behind him, but he saw no one . He needed him now more than ever.From all angles came no support, he begun thinking and making up stories against the supposed guidance of God. He questioned himself for a while and finally he made way. He sailed through the muddy grounds safely and crossed the river peacefully.
At the other side of the river, he begun blaming God aloud. 'Where were you in my most pressing moments of my journey ?Your guidance and promises all failed when I needed them most, how could you leave me at that point of it all?'Just about to go, he heard a voice behind him that said,'those times where you saw the footprints no more, I carried you on my shoulders and therefore my presence you less felt." Silently , he remembered that he saw the footprints no more where he claimed to have needed Him so much.
He then remembered what God told Him in Isaiah 40:30-31, they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strengths....He now resorted to praising God more than complaining and blaming Him even when His mighty hands were close.
Do you know who gives you strength as your day? Have you wondered how merciful God can be to see you through your supposed worse moments?Do you think He can be passive when your life seems impossible?
No, the hands of the Lord are ever near to cheer you up in your journey to destiny. God is more than able.
