Ever notice the cross and three dots in our logo?
Tetelestai. "It is finished." John 19:30. The work of saving us is done.
The three dots are the three days to the empty tomb. And "to be continued," because God's not finished with us yet.
Faith, one step at a time. ✝️…

Next time you're outside, look up for a minute before you look at your phone. The sky has been preaching all day.
"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork." Psalm 19:1 (ESV)

An overloaded pack doesn't make you tougher, just grumpier by noon. Jesus offers a different load.
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 (ESV)
"For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matthew 11:30 (ESV)

Water crossings always look worse from the bank. You still have to cross, but you don't cross alone.
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you..." Isaiah 43:2 (ESV)

Where's your quiet place? Not the prettiest spot you've ever seen, but the one where you actually slow down and listen.
"Be still, and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10 (ESV)

Some of you woke up discouraged this morning. Some of you woke up relieved. Either way, God's still on His throne, and He's still good. Be kind to your neighbor today.
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1 (ESV)

If you've hiked much, you know the false summit. You top out, catch your breath, start to grin, and then see the real peak sitting behind it. (1/3)

It's discouraging every time. But a false summit doesn't mean you're lost. It means you're higher than you were, and the trail still goes up. (2/3)

Trail markers don't show you the whole route, just the next turn. Trust works like that.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV)

Saturday question: are you a "trailhead by sunrise" hiker or a "leave when the coffee kicks in" hiker?
Either way, His mercy is there when you wake up.
"...his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23 (ESV)

Shoutout to my brother Mark Moore and Shanktification, a golf-and-faith devotional. He finds God on the fairway like we do on the trail.
"Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another." Proverbs 27:17

Twelve scouts saw the same land. Ten came back talking about giants. Caleb came back talking about what God could do.
"Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it." Numbers 13:30 (ESV)
Coming to Pack Light: Giants in the Grass.

Trail fatigue is real. So is a strength that isn't your own
"but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31 (ESV)

Honest question for the hikers: what's one piece of gear you were *sure* you needed and never once used?
I'll go first: heavy kitchen kit
Funny how much we carry "just in case." Makes me wonder what else I'm hauling that God never asked me to pack. 🎒

The Jordan was at flood stage, and God told the priests carrying the ark to walk into it. Not to wait on the bank until it went down. To step in. (1/3)

"...and the feet of the priests bearing the ark were dipped in the brink of the water..." Joshua 3:15 (ESV)
"...the waters coming down from above stood and rose up in a heap..." Joshua 3:16 (ESV)
The water moved after their feet got wet, not before. (2/3)

Nobody finishes a trail by staring at the summit. You finish it one step, then the next one.
"The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand." Psalm 37:23-24 (ESV)
