Relax and Ride Up
Am I the only one who ever went up the escalator and realized that you needed to get something else from the lower level before you went to the upper level?
Am I am the only one who as a child (we won’t say how old) tried to go against the escalator up direction by walking backwards and going down.You ever see those people (i.e. kids or even grown folks) trying to go against the escalator? You gotta run or be quick to go against the direction. You look crazy. You’re most likely in a rush. You probably could have just rode it up and then rode it back down quicker.
Why am I even talking about a mall escalator?
This morning Holy Spirit told me to relax and ride up.
He said:
One step at a time
Step by Step
I know. You want to speed up and do what you think will get you there quicker, BUT THERE IS A PURPOSE FOR THIS PACE!
Ordered steps. Your steps are ordered.
There is a blessing in every step…at every level.
Sometimes you may feel like you’re going backwards or you need to go back to the lower level, but the escalator is still going up in your life.
See! Holy Spirit brought up the escalator! And right when He said it, I had a vision of the mall escalator and all the other stuff at mentioned.
Holy Spirit said: Just ride up Fon. Notice the scenery on the way up There is a blessing on the way up. There is a blessing as you go up. There is a blessing for you. Relax and ride up.
The Lord makes secure the footsteps of the person who delights in him. — Psalms 37:23 NIRV
If you do what the Lord wants, he will make certain each step you take is sure. — Psalms 37:23 CEV
The steps of a [good and righteous] man are directed and established by the Lord, And He delights in his way [and blesses his path]. — Psalms 37:23 AMP
Be encouraged today…there is a blessing as you go the way of the Lord.

SALVATION PRAYER
If you don’t know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior and you’re not a believer, but you have a desire to be, all you have to do is openly confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9). When you pray that prayer, you are saved. Get connected with a good, bible-based church in your community, stay connected to other believers, and start having daily conversations through prayer with God every single day. Welcome to your new life with Jesus Christ!!!
ASSIGNMENTS
What did Holy Spirit say to you in your conversation with Him this morning? (Be sure to write it all down).
Are you feeling like it’s taking a long time to get there by going the Lord’s Way? (Hint: Enjoy the ride up.)
Record yourself reading the Word of God on video or audio and watch how God will use your own voice to give you revelation and build your faith (keeping this assignment on here for a while).
