About the time I embraced the "sure-footed" portion of this verse I was reminded what God was making me sure-footed for... the heights. While that sounds glorious for some like some scene from the Sound of Music, the heights are a little more than that.

One of the things I have used in the past to shield myself from hurt has been offense. Three years ago today, my good friend, Lisa Goodwin introduced me to a book called, “The Bait of Satan: Living Free from the Deadly Trap of Offense” by John Bevere. I asked Lisa to guest post today. 

I was recently at a mountain cabin sitting on the back deck when a forceful wind came out of nowhere. I was snuggled up under a warm blanket with my face to the sun. As the wind chimes played a pleasant tune, I heard a rustling of dead leaves.

Can you imagine gladly boasting about your weakness? What kind of job interview, eHarmony profile, or social media post would that look like? We learn from an early age to cover our flaws and compensate for our weaknesses, when scripture clearly tells us that our weakness activates God’s strength.
