Psalm 69:14; Rescue me from the mire, do not let me sink; deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep waters -NIV
A friend of mine was talking to me about riding ATV’s he was telling me that a basic principle in ATV riding in mud is “don’t stop”! He explained that as long as you had momentum and kept your wheels moving even slowly, you would eventually make it out of the mud.
That is so true in all aspects of life. If you are going through tough times and the mud is starting to slow you down we tend to stop and focus on the problem. When we do this we loose our forward momentum we forget about the direction we were going. Many times we even look longingly back along the path and think to ourselves “maybe we should have taken the easier path” This type of thinking is counter-productive any experience 4-wheeler will tell you once you stop and look back you are STUCK. If you stop it gets ten times harder to remove you. The longer you stay stopped the worse it gets as now you start to sink. This is when ropes and pulleys and outside help becomes necessary.
God’s path isn’t always easy it sometimes takes us through the most difficult things we could ever imagine. Do not look back though because just around the corner is the finish line and eternity with your friends will be a great place to share your stories with later. If you feel like you are going through hell right now… don’t stop.
