“Keeping Up with the Horses”

My mother was the most wonderful Christian I have ever met. I could always hear her on the phone, praying for someone and giving them a scripture. One of my favorite scriptures was Jeremiah 12:5.

“If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with the horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?”

It simply means that “if you cannot stand when things aren’t too bad,” then “how will you make it when a ‘real trial’ comes your way?” God always gives us “small mountains” to climb first. He knows “the big one is coming!” He may send us a “bear,” because He knows the “giant is the one way!” Let’s not be weary, but each day let’s look to our Jesus, the captain of our soul!
