As Christians, we love to talk about the moment of decision and victory: that instant decision where you say "yes" to God or that victory breakthrough that finally came through. But hardly anyone talks about the middle. The middle is that long, exhausting hike between the decision and victory, the promise and provision. It’s where the adrenaline has worn off and God seems incredibly quiet. If you are doing the right thing but feeling discouraged because you don't see the results yet, this devotional is for you. We are walking up the steep mountain of silence today.
