A Pile of Stones

In the Bible, in some instances, people would pile up stones as a marker of remembrance of a miracle of God. This enabled the people, when others passed by and asked about the marker, to give glory to God. I'd like to pile up some stones today, even though my miracle is small. Lately I've experienced great unrest and confusion. I've felt like the real world is approaching at the speed of light to crush me with the fist of fear and failure. I've allowed this overwhelming notion to take my eyes off of God and it has affected the remainder of my life; which easily happens when God is not your focus. I had fallen down the slippery slope.
Today God taught me an awesome lesson. When you slip and take your eyes of off him, you can't just expect to leap right back onto the straight and narrow. You have to climb out, one step at a time, with your eyes on him and your hand in his.
He gave me a great victory today. I trusted him with something little and he blew me away with his swift and loving answer. It feels good to take one step closer to God.
I look foward to piling up a lot more stones.
