Difficult terrains are not meant for the fearful, the indolent, and the insolent. And I must confess that life is full of difficult terrains, filled with contours and bumps. Hence, to live life's fullest potentials, we must be very courageous, undaunting and unrelenting.
Joshua 1:9 reads---
''Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the LORD thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest.'' [ KJV ]
Much as I don't want to make this a religious article, I know certainly that there are situations only God can upturn. And there are battles only God can fight for us. Let me give a few instances: How do you handle your teenager who has suddenly taken to drugs and has left home for weeks without leaving any trace of his/her whereabout? Or how do you handle your banker who is threatening to foreclose on all your properties if you fail to pay back a loan with its accumulated interest within a grace period and all your appeals continue to fall on deaf ears? What do you do at a crossroad when you can't really figure out a reasonable course of action?
You probably haven't travelled this path before and everything around you may look gloomy. In challenging moments like this you need a co-traveller. You need God. And you need courage to truly believe that God is capable and willing to walk you through the difficult terrains you are travelling.
We all need the Almighty Invisible Hands of God to guide and lead us during destiny moments. And I have no doubt that difficult terrains are often blessings in disguise. We must be dutiful and committed to learning all the lessons associated with the experience.
Remember, quitters don't win, and winners don't quit.
