Staircase Strength
Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase. --Martin Luther King, Jr.
There are many types of staircases. Some staircases are straight up; while others may have a resting pad following the middle step, and other staircases may be winding. But, what makes them all alike is that they all have steps and the fact that the correct way to climb is to climb one step at a time.
Sometimes, our lives can be seen as a staircase. Life may seem to go straight up from one situation to another without a break in between. Then in other instances, there is a moment of rest before having to face the next issue. Or as in the case of the winding staircase, we are able to stand and look at what seems to lie ahead before actually engaging the climb. But in cases such as this, we are unable to see from our location the condition of the stairs. We can see the condition of the stairs and what may be on each step only as we climb each step.
Dr King's powerful quote still speaks volumes today as it agrees with Hebrews chapter 11, which is often called the Hall of Faith. Faith is the evidence of things not seen by the natural eye. And although in life we can not see the whole staircase, Faith beckons us to Come, to Move Forward, and to Advance. It also calls us to believe that our God, who has not changed, will direct our paths just as he did for Abraham...the father of faith. Climbing is exercise and it is exercise that will make you stronger. Allow your staircase to build spiritual muscle and to make you stronger. You are more than a conqueror!
In most cases, it is the first step that is the hardest. I encourage you to go on and take that first step in Faith. Trust God to guide you as you walk by faith and not by sight. This staircase is only going to make you stronger!
