It's a curious phrase: Between a rock and a hard place. Kind of implies a "no win" situation. If you think about the journeys that God led the Israelites on, there were many seemingly disastrous or impossible situations...and yet, God showed up miraculously over and over again. The very start of their Exodus from Egypt was full of miracle upon miracle upon miracle. Calling Moses through a burning bush, plague upon plague to get Pharaoh's attention (or were those for the Israelites?), the Passover, the parting of the Red Sea...and on and on- for forty years. Looking back in our own lives, what miracles transpired? Some small, some big; some surprises, some long prayed for. Some arriving as we were pressed between our Rock and a hard place- testing or stretching our faith. All offering to lead us to a new level in our walk with our God.

As Leaders, we often stand between the people we lead and their hard places. And, our mission is to hold out hope that the road ahead, while it may be long and winding- is to be walked through for where it leads and what it will show us. How much more certainty we have, knowing that our Rock is at work in every step.

Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen. Psalm 77:19
