Thoughts, Prayers and Words of Encouragement: Today's challenge involved the realization that God will not place me on an insecure ladder. That even if I am unable to see the supports, hidden in the secret place of the Most High, as He has asked me to step on and up, He will have secured the ladder. How ironic that the world talks so much about climbing the ladder and yet for so many the supports of the ladder are virtual supports, money, power, fame, and each step bring more grandiose ideas of success.
I view climbing the ladder with Jesus, more like the action of the Gospel. When you combine His loving kindness (that leads to repentance) with His love; what other outcome is there then the Gospel in action. So the supports He gives me are His Spirit, His Love, His Mercy, His Goodness and basically HIM Holding the Ladder. WOW...I visualize the climb...small things like smiles, hugs, listening ears, being the conduit of love, acts of service and compassion....then there are the BIG steps, listening to Him, spending time with Him, praying with Him, sharing His heart and moving as He leads.....before you know it...lives changed...healing....restoration and reconciliation.....
Lord I want to keep climbing the ladder. May every step of every day be for Your glory, may the Kingdom of God grow, and may you continue to draw all men to Yourself. Help me to keep climbing trusting in the knowledge of Your secure hold on my life. Bless me with courage to climb and thanks because I know that the top of the ladder is a place with you for all eternity.
love ya
