Rough Road Ahead? Steep Hills?

I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth.

~Isaiah 42:15

Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain.

~Isaiah 4:40

How many mountains do you have to climb today? Does the darkness at night magnify the size of your challenges? Do you lie awake worrying how you will get over or around the mound of problems confronting you?

It is good to be reminded that we have a God who can make “the rough places smooth” and “turn the darkness into light” (Isaiah 42:15). Ask God to guide you, step by step. Let go of the things you have no control.

Turn all your mountains over to the Lord. You will get through what lies ahead and find yourself on the other side, with a stronger faith and trust in God. 

With God’s guidance and help, those mountains will become blacktop roads, the steep parts especially. With God’s light in your darkness and love in all circumstances, you will find the steeps not so steep and the darkness overcome with God’s light.

Turn to him when your mountains get too big. He is waiting for you!
