One day Moses was high upon a mountain speaking to all the Israelites. In his zeal to relay the Lord’s message to them he stepped off a steep cliff that was behind him. Just as he started to fall he reached out, grabbed a branch jutting out from the side of the cliff, and shouted, “Oh Lord, please help me get back on top of this mountain.”
A voice from above said, “Moses do you love me?”
Moses said, “Yes Lord, I love you more than anything in this world. Please help me get back on top of this mountain.”
The Lord answered, “If you love me you will obey me.”
Moses said, “Lord you know I love you and yes I’ll obey you. But please help me get back on top of this mountain.”
The Lord said, “Moses, let go of the branch.”
I can’t count how many times in my life has God said to me to just let go of the branch. And sometimes, especially when I was new in my walk with Him, I reluctantly did as requested and see Him work; His wonders to behold. It’s all about faith.
Thanks be to the Lord it gets easier as we grow. Amen?
Rejoicing with Power!
