" Faith is taking the first step even when you cannot see the whole staircase" Martin Luther King JR
It seems to me life is one great big staircase. You must climb up each step one at a time. You can try to do them two at a time, but in the long run you'll just tire yourself sooner. If we have an ultimate goal in life, we have to take each level accordingly. We might think it's better to go full speed- straight ahead when really God wants us to take 5 more steps before we reach that goal. Just because you have a detour in the road doesn't mean you'll never make it to that destination. Maybe God has someone he planned for you to meet, a lost soul to save, or maybe he just wants to test your faith in Him and his guidance. It can be hard to except certain detours in life, but we must remain on the path laid for us by our almighty God and trust that he has a higher reason for this delay. Noone knows you better then God, He knows us better then we know ourselves and He loves us more then anyone in the world ever could. Do you think he would cause us to wait if it wasn't for our benefit in the end? Do you believe God would cause us to struggle if he knew we couldn't bear it?
The scriptures say " Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30" If you lean on Him there is nothing you cannot handle! Nothing is impossible with God and his unfailing love.
