Aim high and God will help you | Two Minute Daily Devotional

When I’m in Austria during the summer, I like to walk the ski slopes. There’s one route that stretches 22 kilometres, and it’s not easy. It takes effort, endurance, and determination. So how do I make it? By setting a steady pace – and then keeping it, step by step by step. It’s the same in your spiritual life. The journey doesn’t begin at the summit; it begins with a single step. And then another. And another. You may not go as far as someone else, but what matters is that you’ve begun. Keep moving forward, keep your pace, and you’ll find yourself climbing higher than you ever thought possible. I think it was General Booth who said, in your vision for God, aim for the moon – you may not reach it, but you might make it as far as the lamppost. Aim only for the lamppost, and you’ll never lift your feet off the ground. Aim high. Take that step. You’re already on your way, and you’ll discover that the Lord reaches down His hand to lift you even higher.
