I was in the woods this morning and walked by this tree stand. As you can see the first step is a real doozy, but once you get past the first step, it is clear-sailing from there. Your view of the woods is clearer, and it gives you a better picture of your surroundings.It struck me today that every person who wants to see what is ahead and plan for the future, must see with different eyes.
One of things that drives me as a leader, as a follower of Jesus, a Husband and Father, is to go before them and lead the way. A quote that drives me is this one, "May my family always look ahead and see me there!"
But this requires taking the some really hard first steps. Sometimes they require great faith. Sometimes they are very dangerous and difficult. Yet the view you get from the top is so rewarding. Take that first step today, you will not regret it! You might get a fresh perspective that you have been longing for! Besides who wants to spend their lives wondering what it might have looked like from the top?
