Climbing The Walls

All of us have walls in our lives—circumstances that seem to stop our forward motion. If only we had more money, help, friends; if only we weren’t plagued by this illness or difficult marriage, or, or, or . . .

The glory of a woman who has Christ in her life is to mount those walls. If we believe in Him, we have no other choice than to live by what we know to be true, regardless of our feelings, the circumstances, our friends’ thoughts, or the world’s opinion of our circumstances. It is to God’s glory for us to live supernaturally.

Our heart is unable to speak into other people’s lives unless we have personal experience mounting some of the same walls they’re being faced with. Overcoming gives us a greater capacity for faith, compassion, and understanding of others in this battle of life.

David faced so many incredibly difficult, seemingly insurmountable walls yet embraced God and believed that He was good. Because of this God-focused heart, he was chosen by God to have an inheritance forever and was called a man after God’s heart.

And so, it is to the honor of a godly woman, in the presence of her family and friends, to mount the walls in her life with joy that comes from obedience, with strength that comes from trusting God, and with beauty that comes from choosing to believe in God’s goodness and light in the midst of darkness.

His Promises

Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep.

Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some.
