I do not know about you, but I have been wondering where the past few months have gone. Summer is a busy time of year, and we are already two weeks into Fall. Not only are we busy but can be easily distracted from our call to ministry. All are called to be disciples and make disciples. The congregations of Mountaintop Ministries have been challenged to dedicate ourselves to reading God’s Word, praying every day and fasting Tuesday after dinner to Wednesday dinner. We are allowing God to show us what we need to get rid of and where we need to grow.
One area of growth that I have been shown is simply living my life in a way that others can see Christ. In Hebrews 12:12-Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. 13-Make level paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed (NIV). Making level paths for feet is living our life in way for others to see Christ. Feeble arms and weak knees are those who have yet come to faith in Jesus or new in their walk. We do not want to disable or cause them to stumble. We want them to meet Jesus and be healed from whatever hinders them. It is challenging to stay focused on Jesus. There are so many things that want to distract us. This was the main point in Paul Bunyon’s Pilgrims Progress. Satan (our adversary) will try to turn us off course. So, let us keep reading, studying the Word, praying, and fasting. These disciplines will allow us to make level paths for our feet.
