One evening, after dinner, I brought my 4-year old daughter to a playground. There was a big net made out of thick ropes, that act as a ladder for children to climb up to a platform. When my daughter reached the playground, she was so excited and tried to climb up that net. After 2 steps, she decided to come down despite my assurance that I was behind watching her and protecting her. Because of her fear of falling down, she had chosen to play with the sand than to climb up to the platform. About 5 minutes later, I tried to convince her to climb again. This time she managed to climb up the platform with some help.

Very often, when we face difficulty or discouragement, we may feel like giving up. Somehow, we can be so overwhelmed by the problem that we fail to recognise that we have a loving heavenly Father who is always watching and protecting us. Let us put our confidence in God inspite of difficulty.

Just like Micah, he was able to see beyond his current difficult situation to proclaim his confidence in God. He says, "But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me." (Micah 7:7)
