No Matter The Difficulty Wholly Follow The LORD

Deu 1:36  Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
 
Every difficult task that comes across your path...every one that you would rather not do, that will take the most effort, cause the most pain, and be the greatest struggle...brings a blessing with it. 

And refusing to do it regardless of the personal cost is to miss the blessing.
 
Every difficult stretch of road on which you see the Master’s footprints and along which He calls you to follow Him leads unquestionably to blessings. 

And they are blessings you will never receive unless you travel the steep and thorny path.
 
Every battlefield you encounter, where you are required to draw your sword and fight the enemy, has the possibility of victory that will prove to be a rich blessing to your life.

And every heavy burden you are called upon to lift hides within itself a miraculous secret of strength.

I cannot do it alone; The waves surge fast and high, And the fogs close all around,
 
The light goes out in the sky; But I know that we two Will win in the end, Jesus and I.
 
Cowardly, wayward, and weak, I change with the changing sky; 

Today so eager and bright, Tomorrow too weak to try;
 
But He never gives in, So we two will win, Jesus and I.
 
I could not guide it myself, My boat on life’s wild sea;
 
There’s One who sits by my side, Who pulls and steers with me.
 
And I know that we two Will safe enter port, Jesus and I.
