         Even though you stay by Me and you feed on My Words, you'll still go through some storms and there will still be difficulties. Staying near Me and staying in My Word won't take those away, but it will bring you through them! My Words are like a magical instrument that can be used in so many ways. When you're stuck in a storm, they'll be a cover and a shelter. When you're cold, they'll be a blanket. When you're hungry, they'll feed you. When you're tired, they'll help you rest. When you're weak, they'll strengthen you. When it's foggy, they'll shine a light on your path and help you be able to see where you're going.
         As you're going up the mountain, don't just keep looking down and around you at the ground and the rocks under you, but stop as often as you can and look up! Look up to the beautiful blue sky and to the mountain peaks that you are climbing toward, and that will encourage you and refresh you and give you the stamina to keep going a little longer.
         You'll hardly notice the muddy paths because you'll be looking up! You'll be looking in My face and you'll be looking up at the beautiful blue sky. You'll be looking forward, and when you have that vision, these little nagging problems won't get you down. That's a promise!
