'What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?' Romans 8:31 (NIV).

The tiny girl stood cautiously at the top of the elevator while her mother waited below for the toddler to step onto the moving stairs. But she would not. I gently took her hand and looked down into eyes that held uncertainty. ‘You can do it’ I said and smiled at her. ‘This will be fun.’ She took my hand warily and chatted all the way to the end.

We might often feel like this little girl. Uncertain or fearful of what lays ahead. We look with our eyes and say, ‘That’s too hard for me, I can’t do that.’ Then our fear paralyze us to go further.

There’s one thing we can be certain of even when we are feeling afraid: God’s faithful love. We need to look with eyes of faith to see and embrace this love. Our two eyes see the elevator, see the danger, see the uncertainty, but our eyes of faith see the possibilities, the opportunities and the certainties, because they see that our God is for us, not against us (Romans 8:31).

What fears might be holding us back right now from seeing the choices that have to be made with eyes of faith? Let’s close our eyes and imagine God standing right beside us holding our hand as we step out onto the ‘elevator experiences’ of our life.

‘Father, open my eyes of faith to see that you are with me as I step out into new life experiences that you present to me. Amen.’
