Lane Street’s Tuesday Trail Wisdom

I’ve noticed something over the years—most folks spend a good part of their life trying to climb. Climb the ladder. Climb out of trouble. Climb past yesterday. Nothing wrong with hard work, but I’ve learned this the slow way: the climb doesn’t make a man great.

The trail has taught me that real strength shows up when a man knows when to get off his horse and kneel. Humility isn’t backing down—it’s settling into the truth that you were never meant to carry the whole load alone. God doesn’t ask us to prove our worth; He asks us to trust Him with it.

I’ve seen seasons where things looked stalled—dreams that didn’t move, prayers that seemed to echo back unanswered. Took me a while to realize that what I called delay, God called planting. Seeds don’t make much noise underground, but they’re still doing exactly what they were created to do.

So if today feels heavy, here’s a bit of trail wisdom worth keeping: don’t confuse stillness with failure. Sometimes the higher road doesn’t start with another step forward, but with a quieter heart and bent knees.
That’s usually when the Lord does His best lifting.
