“Those who walk in righteousness walk securely” (Proverbs 10:9).
There are moments when the journey seems engulfed in storm. The path grows dark, thunder frightens, and everything around seems to hinder progress. Many give up right there, thinking it impossible to see any light amid the chaos. But experience teaches that the darkness is not always at the destination — many times it is only at the level where we are walking. Those who keep climbing discover that, above the clouds, the sky is clear and the light remains untouched.
While disobedience keeps us trapped beneath the clouds, faithfulness leads us closer to the throne, where the light never fails. God reveals His plans to the obedient, and it is in this spiritual ascent that the soul learns to walk without being dominated by circumstances. The Father does not send rebels to the Son, but leads those who choose to obey, even when the path requires effort.
Therefore, if everything seems dark now, do not remain where you are — climb higher. Advance in obedience, lift your life, align your steps with the will of the Creator. It is the privilege of the obedient child to walk in clarity, above the storms, living in the light that comes from God and being led by Him to the Son, where there is forgiveness, peace, and life. Adapted from D. L. Moody. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.
Pray with me: Beloved Father, help me not to stop in the face of life’s storms. Teach me to keep climbing, even when the path seems difficult and dark.
My God, strengthen my heart to obey when everything around tries to make me give up. May I not accept living below what You have prepared for me.
Oh, beloved Lord, I thank You for calling me to live above the clouds of doubt and fear. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is the high road that leads me to the light. Your commandments are the clarity that dispels all darkness. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
