Soldiers

The beauty of God’s creative design took my breath away as I stood staring into this image. Several times a week my path crosses this exact scene; yet on this day it was different. The trees in the distance captivated my attention. Trees lined in a row across a hillside meant something; but what? I couldn’t stop looking into the depth of them!

Then it happened, before my vision the trees became soldiers. All across the hillside were soldiers standing at attention. Fully dressed in the best of gear, prepared and waiting. I saw their feet as if they were stuck in cement; unable to move forward. The illusion of deeply rooted preparedness shattered with the exposure of a fear to move forward.

I heard the commander speak, “STEP. STEP. STEP.” But these soldiers stood still.

I believe there are people of God prepared and desiring to step forward into position where God is calling them to go TODAY, but fear is keeping them from the Commanders release to “STEP”.

I pray that the heaviness which has kept your feet stationary would be obliterated to rubble today, in the Name of Jesus. That, that which once kept you held from moving forward would no longer hold  you from stepping further onto the narrow path of God’s intents for your life. Be free to move through the doors God has already opened for you to walk step through.
