“If you truly want to achieve your goal, to live your dreams, you will not let anything stand in your path.”
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us . . .
(Ephesians 3:20 ESV)
A path can go uphill or downhill. It can wander along the edge of the shore or twist through a forest preserve. Sometimes we can see past the next curve, and other times, the view ahead is blocked by trees, hills, or debris.
We don’t stop walking just because we can’t see where we’re going.
If a storm comes though and a branch blocks our path, we climb over it, because we can see that the path continues on the other side.
Our goals in life are the same. We must continue to pursue them despite financial disasters, relationship catastrophes, and emotional pitfalls. Success-speak can provide us motivation.
Just because the branch is in our path is no reason to give up on our destination. God will lead us toward our goal.
