Yesterday Mary and I had a great hike up to the top of Bray Head. It was a bit of a challenge but we made to the top. The trail was very tight in places and the path was a little rugged and the trail was covered with rocks and stones. We had to watch our step lest we slip and fall. The problem was that there was no way to avoid that narrow trail. We couldn’t avoid the struggle.
Finally our goal was in sight. We could see the giant cross that marks the peak. They last part of the path was really tight and required a bit of a scramble.
Then we were on top and out in the open. The vista of Bray and the harbour and all the mountains around us were clear. Our path was enlarged so that our feet did not slip and there before was Bray cross. Literally our path was enlarged and our feet were safe at the foot of the cross.
That's the kind of thing David is walking about here. His path was a struggle. He was slipping and sliding and battling to get firm footing. The trail was hard a tight and there was no other way to go.
But, just like God does for us he lifted David out of that tight place and set him in an open space where his feet would not slip.
So if, for the moment, you are struggling along that tight, rocky, slippery path rest assured that we have a God who can lift us up to walk in high places through the power of the cross. All we have to do is trust Him and keep on going.
