Cali has been running for some time now. Her nails are shorter, her pads have toughened, and her leg muscles are now powerful pulling machines. Little does Cali know the small trail rocks have conditioned her for much better adventures. The Mount Baldy trails should open soon and I plan to take Cali on some of the most beautiful trails in Southern California. Cali does not realize that she needed conditioning before I could take her on these longer trips. 1st Corinthians 2:9 states, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him” (NLT). Sometimes, the small rocks in life are God’s way of preparing us for something better. In God’s wisdom, He knows when we are not ready to handle larger blessings. We often need spiritual maturity and mental development before we can enjoy and understand the blessings that lie before us. Give God praise if you are running on a rocky path right now. God might be preparing you for a more adventurous trail.
