Path to Breakthrough

Sometimes life can be confusing. Roads, paths or ideas that we follow can come to a dead end, circle us back to where we started, or take us to a place where we are totally lost. Our efforts may lead us to nowhere or to too many places, where we become overwhelmed with too ideas or too many things to do. Chaos or stress sets in and we find ourselves weary and burdened.

But when we step back and yield to the Lord, we find His Loving Arms stretching out to us, welcoming us to come and rest in Christ, and be refreshed. And in those Everlasting Arms, Jesus begins to remove the confusion. He silences the storm and brings strength to our bodies. He quiets our thoughts and brings peace to our minds. And we begin to understand that its not what we do that makes a huge impact, but it's what He does when we yield to Him. He is able to straighten out our path. He is able to bring clarity to our minds. He is able to take the little that we have — our loaves and fishes — and multiply them to feed thousands, or strengthen the weary, or heal the sick. He is able to straighten out our path because He is the Path.
