By AnnieProverbs 4:18 NIVThe path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.Today's devotional reminds me of a recent trip to PRAYER MOUNTAIN. As an employee of my church, we are required to attend PRAYER MOUNTAIN twice a year. That was my first trip and boy did it make a lasting impact on me! My boss strongly recommended I caravan with other people because I could easily get lost. I had planned to meet up with other co-workers at the church office. My intention was to hopefully carpool with someone. I even took a Dramamine because I get really car sick. I was ready. When I got to work, there were no other cars waiting. I went around the building and when I drove back to the front, I noticed an SUV leaving the parking lot. I had just missed them. So I drove to PRAYER MOUNTAIN by myself. I was a little nervous because I only had about 1/4 tank of gas left at less than 80 miles to empty. Thinking I was already late and missed the rendezvous point, I was determined to find PRAYER MOUNT on my own. I began to pray and pray and pray, unsure of the path and unsure that my car would make it. I drove off the freeway as GPS led me to a railroad stopping. It was there I found the caravan of cars from my church! Oh my goodness! Thank God. The train stopping was God's design! He wanted to make sure we were grouped up (safety in numbers). The lead car decided to take the back road which was an adventure in and of itself. We crossed two creeks, train tracks, and I landed in a small ditch. I was so afraid my car would get stuck and I'd be stranded. By the grace of God, my car surprisingly performed like an SUV or Land Rover. I was so incredibly proud of my little red ruby car! But wouldn't you know it, we ended up turning around again and this time we entered from the far north. We drove through grooved pavement and let me just say my car was bouncing and fishtailing something awful, especially when we left PRAYER MOUNTAIN. But, my car was a trooper! After nearly two miles of driving on grooved pavement, we finally arrived at our destination! It was breathtaking! So much care, grooming, and maintenance goes into this place, you can tell. The walkways and trails were clean, groomed, and picturesque. God told me to climb to the top of the hill where the cross is -- so I did. I climbed up a steep path, but once I arrived at the top of the hill, I was out of breath (mostly because of the strenuous climb, but also because of how stunning and breathtaking the view was)! Well-worth the trip and price of admission! Definitely worth the memories of feeling scared and fearful. That was a life lesson for certain. Sometimes we just have to grow through valleys, hills, and mountains to test our faith. When we put our trust and faith in God that's when we'll know and see what God has waiting for you on the other side. Thank God for pushing me through the valley only to arrive at the top where He met me. I'd do it again, and hopefully soon, too! ~~~~God is ON AIR and so are we!#walkandtalkfaith #walkandtalkfaithpodcast #wtfpodcast #GodIsOnTheAir~~~~For business purposes, please email us at walkandtalkfaith@gmail.com~~~~Music CreditSong: SeasonsArtist: TelecastedYouTube Audio Library
