Columbia River WA by Dee Kamp
Remembering
the Source
The Columbia River flows mightily
through the State of Washington beginning in British Columbia Canada, with its
source from Columbia Lake. From there it travels 1,000 miles to its final
destination― the Pacific Ocean.
At first a river may flow smoothly,
but in those many miles it faces to its destination comes trouble like
boulders, cliffs and other unexpected barriers.
One thing about living more than
seventy years I am now a living testimony of all the amazing things my Source
of life, God, is able to do when I faced so many barriers, boulders and
troubles. I learned for instance, I
needed to look away from me, away from the problem and look to Jesus, my
Source.
I have learned to trust in God’s Word
that He will either take us around the problem, past the barrier, remove it or
hold our hand tightly until we get on through it.
When life isn’t flowing like a
smooth flowing river but filled instead with unexpected barriers, boulders and
troubles ― that’s the time to pause, pray and remember Who the Source of our
life really is.
“Never focus your eyes on the
obstacle or the difficulty. The obstacle will be a matter of total indifference
to the river that will flow steadily through you if you will simply remember to
stay focused on the Source. Never allow anything to come between you and Jesus
Christ―not emotion nor experience―nothing must keep you from the one great
sovereign Source.” Oswald Chambers, My
Utmost for His Highest
