Fw: Todays Devotion

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone,

I hope you don't mind but I wanted to share this. My cousin sent this to me. She is going through chemo for breast cancer. But with all she is going through she thought of my Allie and what she is about to take on. She is truly an amazing person. I thought it is fitting to us all and our little angels. Hope you enjoy!!!

Hi again! I just sat down to read a bit from a devotion book and thought today's topic was ironic and fitting after thinking about Allie. Funny how things work out that way. =). Anyway, thought I'd share it :"A Hill Too High"...My wife and I like to rollerblade. Near the end of one of our favorite routes is a long hill. When we first started taking this route, I tried to encourage Sue by saying, "Are you ready for the hill?" just before pushing our way to the top. But one day she said, "Could you please not say that? You make it sound like a huge mountain, and that discourages me." It was better for Sue to face the hill thinking only about one "step", or rollerblade push, at a time instead of an entire steep hill to conquer. Life can be like that. If we peer too far ahead of today, the challenges may feel like

a Mt Everest climb. They can appear impossible to handle if we think we have to be "ready for the hill". The Bible reminds us that today is all we need tackle. We don't need to worry about tomorrow's tasks (Matt 6:34). Imagine Moses thinking, "I've got to feed all these people for who knows how long. How can I get that much food?". God took care of that mountain with manna - but only enough for one day at a time (Ex 16:4). Every hill in life is too high if we think we must climb it all at once. But no hill is insurmountable if we take it one step forward at a time - with God's help.
