Right Behind You

The other day and friend of mine shared on social media a clip of his daughter learning how to cycle. She had her helmet on, and was for the first time cycling without the training wheels. She did so well, if I may say so myself! It warmed my heart...I remembered my Papa teaching me how to ride a bike as a little girl. Memories that I treasure dearly.
Anyway, what really caught my attention was my friends' voice in the background. He kept saying, "Keep going...I'm right behind you". And going she did! What an assurance to that little girl, that she could keep going without fear of falling because her daddy was right behind her ensuring that all was well.

We've been blessed to see a new year, and I am certain that like me, you have many tasks ahead of you. Targets to meet that keep you up at night sometimes. There are some things I know I need to do- I've made all sorts of excuses in the past. I have cowered, been too afraid to try. What if I fail? What if I'm not so good at it? What if nobody gets it? 

So I thought about my friend and his daughter and drew a parallel between that and my relationship with God. How many times I've taken the road less traveled only because I was sure He was right behind me, reassuring me, cheering me on. Usually I start off afraid, but the more I press on, the more the fear subsides and my confidence in Him grows.

This year as you set out to do whatever it is you need to, please remember that God is with you. He walks with you. He covers you. He believes in you. No harm shall befall you. You will not strike your foot against a stone; you will not fall. And if by chance you do, He's right there to pick you up. He's got you! 

My prayer for you is that your soul will be anchored in God's grace. You will face many moments that require you, like David to encourage yourself in God. Your faith will be tested- you will be stretched. But you have to keep moving. I am learning that sometimes what we need to do and how events unfold don't always line up. But anytime you are tempted to doubt the presence of God, listen to him whisper to your heart over and over again, "Keep going...I'm right behind you"!


From my beating heart, to yours.
