There are some mountain roads that are high up in elevation, and have no protection to keep you from going over the side. I have not had the pleasure of traveling those roads, and I hope I never do.
I am afraid of heights, and this would be a very difficult experience for me.
The Psalmist David, had rough roads in his life.
He was as I would call him, a warrior King, and one who at one time, was a fugitive from King Saul. Rough roads indeed.
The apostle Paul, described our Christian journey as "a walk." In Ephesians 4:1: "I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, entreat you to walk in a manner worthy of the callings with which you have been called." There were times in Paul's life that he had to walk the walk of a "prisoner of the Lord." He was arrested and placed in prison for preaching the Gospel. He knew that there would be opposition to his evangelistic endeavor.
I don't believe that Paul was surprised at his imprisonment, but he didn't try to run away and hide, he faced his situation head on. No matter what comes in our Christian walk, we are encouraged by the example of Paul, to keep walking through the storms of life.
The Lord Jesus Christ told His disciples, that He would be with them even unto the end of the age. Every step that we take, the Lord Jesus takes one beside ours. He is with us everyday, and every moment of our lives.
Some of the situations we have faced, have felt like driving on those mountain roads. But the co-pilot we have next to us, knows, what is around every turn, and will get us safely to where He wants us to be.
With that promise, let's keep walking through....GP
