Strong Boots

“If God sends us on strong paths, we are provided strong boots.” - Corrie Ten Boom

Any Corrie Ten Boom fans here?! If you don’t know who she was, Corrie Ten Boom was a Dutch Christian who, along with her family, helped many Jews escape during the Nazi occupation in World War II. She later survived the horrors of concentration camps as well. Her experiences of hardship and faith GREATFLY influenced her perspectives on life and the role of God in navigating difficulties.

This quote reminds us that when we encounter difficult situations or challenging paths in life, God DOES NOT leave us ill-equipped to handle them. Instead, He provides us with the necessary strength, resilience, and resources to overcome those obstacles! The metaphor of "strong paths" signifies the tough and demanding journeys we may face—situations that test our courage, determination, and faith. "Strong boots" symbolize the support, protection, and endurance that God offers us during these times.🙌🏼

The quote reflects a belief in God's providence and care for His people. It suggests that no matter how challenging the road may seem, we are definitely not alone in our struggles. God is there to guide us, empower us, and equip us with the necessary qualities and tools to navigate through every trial we face in this life.

This does not mean that life will always be easy or that we won't face difficulties. (Don’t we all wish 😅) Instead, it emphasizes the idea of divine grace and strength, which can help us overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges! It encourages us to hope in God alone and fully trust Him during times of adversity.

If you haven’t read her book, The Hiding Place, put that on your list! (Listen on Audible too!). It has encouraged me oh so much to live a life FULL of faith!🙌🏼

I hope you enjoy this art print and that it blesses you and your family!!!💛
