Isaiah 41:10 ‘‘Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.’

DAILY READING ; Mark 11:1-14; 1 Kings 1; Hosea 4:11b-5:4

Eric Alexander began climbing mountains through his Church youth group when he was a teenager.
Over the years, he became an experienced mountaineer who successfully climbed most of the highest mountains in the world. He also led expeditions throughout Europe, North America, South America, the Himalayas and other mountainous regions of the globe.
However, in 2000, he had an experience that shook him up and almost ended his mountain climbing career.
In preparation to climb Mount Everest, Eric went to train in the Himalayas and climbed Mount Ama Dablam. But during the climb, he suffered a terrible fall of about 150 feet. Luckily, he didn’t break any bones. But he developed pulmonary edema, which could have led to death and he had to be air-lifted off the mountain in an emergency.
After this, Alexander struggled with a lot of fear and anxiety and didn’t want to climb Mount Everest anymore. He was further discouraged when soon afterwards, a rock-climbing friend of his, died in a snowboarding accident. But Alexander decided not to be paralyzed by the fear but rather chose to pray and trust in God’s Word. Strengthened by faith, he went ahead with his plan to join the team that was about to climb Mountain Everest. This team was unique because they were about to record a lot of first achievements. The group included the first blind man, the oldest man, the first father and son team, the biggest camera and the biggest team to ever summit Mount Everest.
Many people said they couldn’t do it, but on May 25, 2001, Eric Alexander and his special team of 19 people made history when they climbed Mt. Everest, the world’s highest mountain at 29,035 feet. By God’s grace, Eric’s team achieved one of the most successful team climbs in history.
If Eric had given in to fear, he would have missed the international recognition, awards and accolades that followed his team’s historical climb of Mount Everest.
Eric Alexander’s story is captured in his book ‘The Summit’. In it he shares his adventures in the mountains and how those journeys have helped to strengthen his faith in God.

If you want to live your life with your potential maximized to the fullest, you must learn to starve your fear and feed your faith.
Even if everything seems to be going wrong, keep trusting God and keep going forward.
If you’re going to see God move supernaturally and open doors miraculously, you can’t afford to let fear and setbacks stop you. You may get knocked down but don’t get knocked out. Keep moving because when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
Many people are sitting on the sidelines of life, nursing their wounds after a fall and refusing to move forward because of fear. As a result they never get to experience the greater things awaiting them in their journey.
As believers, we have a victorious destiny in Christ: We may be challenged, but we are not permitted to be defeated.
Any time, you experience a setback, simply learn what didn’t work out and then keep pressing forward with what is working.
God has a plan and purpose He is executing in your life and you must remain tenacious in faith to see the glorious manifestation.
Therefore don’t give in to fear or discouragement no matter how tough the journey may get. Rather keep giving glory to God and trust that Christ will cause you to triumph always (2 Corinthians 2:14). Indeed when you turn your worry into worship, God will turn your battles into blessings.
Today, no matter how contrary things may look, understand that you have come too far to lose this race. Therefore keep pressing forward because there is a joy set before you. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Surely, it is only a matter of time before you arrive at your preordained destination of victory and glory.

PRAYER: Father, please help me to keep pressing forward, even when things seem difficult.. Thank You Lord for granting me the grace to diligently study Your Word so that faith can arise in my heart to keep standing strong until my miracles come in Jesus Name.
