Yesterday I took my children mountain bike riding. As we were going up the hill we had to push hard and at times we had to get off the bikes and walk them up the hill.
On the way down the hill my youngest daughter became scared because gravity was pulling us down. I told her don’t pedal just pump the breaks.
As we continued down the hill I was right beside her and she began to call out mommy in a frantic voice. I said I’m here, I’m not leaving you on this hill. My son kept saying come on don’t be scared, but my daughter just kept crying out mommy, mommy, mommy. No matter how many times I told her I wasn’t going to leave her that didn’t stop her from not trusting that I would get her safely down the hill. It took us a while to get off that hill because of her doubt, fear and unbelief but once we got down she tried to speed off and leave me.
How many of us are like my daughter? We cry out to God and he says I’m here, I’m not going anywhere; however, we don’t trust him to get us out of every situation. Sometimes when we are going through things and it feels like we are falling we have to pump the breaks and listen to God’s voice coasting us out of the situation. It may take a while but God is true to his word. Once God delivers you, don’t be like my daughter and try to speed off and leave God now that you have come through your trial because another one is just around the corner.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
