“Whatever hill you are climbing today; whatever conspiracy you may face,
know this, it is not by your effort that you will make it to the top.”
Hebrews 12:2
…looking
to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set
before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right
hand of the throne of God.
We’ve
all heard the charming little childhood story of a little blue engine who
looked at his impossible task of pulling a train up a steep hill and said, "I
think I can, I think I can, I think I can." Filled with determination, the
little blue engine huffed and puffed and pulled up the hill until he made it to
the top.
In an
amusing little twist to the original story, another author wrote: "He was
almost there, when --CRASH! SMASH! BASH! The little blue engine slid all the
way down again and ended up in a heap at the foot of the hill. Which goes to
show, if the track is tough and the hill is rough, only thinking you can, just ain't enough."
King
David was an anointed God-fearing king in Israel. Being called a man after God’s
own heart, he was one of the ancients who was filled with the Holy Spirit. David
penned many positive and uplifting Psalms. However, David was also an honest realist
who faced much opposition to his position, even from within his own family.
Once his son Absalom rebelled and conspired to overthrow his father. In his
response, David did not retaliate; he did not ignore the attack or depend on the
power of positive thought to overcome this great obstacle. David did what he
always did – he turned to the Lord and depended on God’s plans for deliverance.
He wrote in a psalm, “O Lord, how many are my foes! But you, O Lord, are a
shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.”
Whatever
hill you are climbing today; whatever conspiracy you may face, know this, it is
not by your effort that you will make it to the top. You will overcome only by faith
in God’s plans for your deliverance, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said,
“If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain,
‘Move from here to there’, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for
you.” Only faith in God’s purposes for your life, by his grace and might, will
you pull your train to the top of the hill. So, set your eyes on Jesus, the
author of your faith, and keep puffing away.

GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY
So, I take my eyes off this mountain in
my life and I keep climbing with faith in your plans, by your power
“Dear
Lord, I feel as though I have been climbing this hill for ages, with no
progress. It seems everyone is against me and resistance is at every turn.
Forgive me for taking my eyes off Jesus and depending on my own power of
positive thinking. I choose now to look to Christ and follow his example. Jesus
climbed mount Calvary, endured death with confidence in your plan, O God, to raise
him from the dead and seat him on the throne of heaven. So, I take my eyes off
this mountain in my life and I keep climbing with faith in your plans, by your
power. Amen.”
