Set Your Face like a Flint

Set Your Face like a Flint

My child, look at the road ahead and keep your eyes focused on the goal. No matter what surrounds you at the moment and what challenges you face, do not lose sight of the promise that I have given you. Do not deter from the path that I have given you to take. 
When you are discouraged, just lift up your eyes to me and see the promise that I have given you. Meditate on the goal up ahead and the treasure that I have prepared for you – smell it and taste it and see it. Live in it and as you do, you will also begin to walk it out.  When you know where you are going, my child, and set your eyes on your destination, the terrain that you may have to walk through is a small price compared to the place that I have prepared for you. 
So do not be discouraged, but know that I am here guiding you along with my hands. I am here watching your every move and leading you along the right path. As you keep walking forward and not looking back, you will soon be walking into the future that I have planned for you. You will even look back and see how the journey that I have taken you on has shaped you into the mighty warrior that you are today. You will even praise me for the journey that you have gone through. Amen.
