Walls To The Sky

Have you ever been there facing a wall in life that was so large it seemed as if it touched the sky? It may have been a financial wall, or a medical wall, or a family wall. Perhaps it was a wall at work or just a personal wall that you could not climb over. As the nation of Israel prepares to enter the promise land they are warned that the cities and armies will be large. The cities will have walls up to the sky the writer says. WOW what a challenge for an invading force! But verse 3 of Deuteronomy 9 says it all, “But be assured today…He will destroy them…and you will drive them out and annihilate them quickly.” God is bigger then the walls in our life! He can knock them down, punch through them, or toss us right over them. The walls we perceive as reaching to the sky are but a stepping-stone for the Lord. Don’t be discouraged if the walls of life seem too big, instead be encouraged to call upon the Lord to remove the obstacle. And what does the Lord ask of each of us today? The answer is put well in Deut. 10:12-13. We must do nothing more then fear God, walk in His ways, love Him, and serve Him with all of our hearts and souls, while observing His commands. These commands and decrees are for our own good. If we follow them, if we fear, love, serve and honor God, our lives will be blessed and we will be a blessing to others. God asks you and I today to do these things. He will knock down the walls. When we do our part He does His. Don’t get the two roles mixed up as we often do.
