Be content with the path God is taking you through

I visited Olumo Rock recently to see God's workmanship. A little boy insisted on being our tour guide. I liked him. Feeling lazy, I asked him if the elevator was working, he said No, truthfully.
The boy led us through scary paths explaining historic places with stories. There were times he assisted me to climb by holding my hand. You can imagine, small boy holding my hand, when I should be the one holding his hand. Experience is not necessarily by age. Humility will save one from falling.
Finally, we got to the top. We asked him if we were going to return by the same route. He responded 'No! there is a stairway'
"Common! You mean there are stairs? And you made us climb the rocks, why didn't you tell us earlier? We could have come up through the stairs instead" I queried.
With smiles on his face, he said something that struck me deeply,
"I intentionally didn't tell you about the stairs. If I did, you'd have preferred to take that route and would have missed the adventure, experience and knowledge climbing would give you."
Such sweet boy!
My friend, there are multiple ways to the top. In His wisdom, there are people God allow to take the easy way... and there are others He insist they take the hard way.
If yours is the hard way, it must be because of the nature of your assignment. Don't be discouraged. Don't quit. He's with you like that little boy to hold your hand. He will guide you to the top. It's not easy. One day, you'll get to the top, and your climbing experience and knowledge will make the world pay attention to you. The climbing is just for a season! Soon, you'll begin to take your stairs and elevator....

*God bless you*
