Life is not a level, smooth path, but rather a series of hills and valleys. There are times spent on the mountain top, when everything seems clear and perfect. Then there are those times when we feel like we’re wandering around in a dark cavern, feeling our way along and trusting God for every step of faith. Runners get a “second wind” after forcing themselves to go on when they feel they can’t. We feel the joy of God’s Spirit lift us up and carry us on when we choose to continue in faith, no matter how we feel or what’s going on around us. Take a moment and set your heart to be persistent in faith—faith in God to lead you, pick you up when you have fallen, give you strength to go on, and ultimately bring you to victory.
