Throughout my life, I have been able to rely on three Scriptures that get me thinking in the right direction, regardless of the problems or issues I may be facing:

1 Corinthians 10:13 – I will not be given more than I can bear.
1 Corinthians 10:13 – There is always a way out.
Colossians 3:1-2 – Set my mind and heart on things above.
Romans 5:10 – When I was God’s enemy, he reached out to me.

I’ve called them stepping stones and likened them to a stone path that leads me out of trouble. No trouble or circumstance has yet to rock this steady path. For this, I am quite grateful.

During the retreat, I started thinking – I have a path out, but can a similar path be found that leads up?

I want to explore the deeper waters of Christianity, but which Scriptures will always push me back out when I become more worldly? Hmmm. Something worth investigating…
