Freedom: Harriet Tubman was a small wisp of a woman, yet God used her to do a mighty work. Without a thought about her own safety, she led hundreds to safe houses along the Underground Railroad and became a legend as she crossed back and forth over lines of battle. She made the journey countless times, and many wondered how she could continue traveling such long distances—along roadways that were carved out of thick and unruly landscapes. But she did. Even though the threat of death shadowed her, she refused to stop. How did she do it? The answer is simple: She had a fixed focus on her goal and nothing was going to turn her. Her faith in God’s unconditional love gave her the strength she needed to continue her treks to freedom. Each night, Harriet Tubman walked straight through the darkness and on to freedom. In fact, nighttime was the safest time for her to travel, and she did not walk in fear. Perhaps it was because she carried a light of hope with her—the light given to her by an eternal God.
