Each Step!

Are you uncertain today, Beloved? Does the way in front of you feel unclear? Are you confused by the enormity of what looks like not one mountain, but an entire range of mountains in front of you? Perhaps, the way seems blocked by Mount Everest!

You have a promise from your Father!

He has promised that He will guide you; that you will hear His voice. He will show you the next step to take!

Isaiah 30:21
And thine ears shall hear a Word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

His Word says that He has ordained our steps even before we were born! He knows just where you’ve been, where you’re at now, and where He is taking you!

Psalm 37:23-24, 31
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and He delighteth in his way.

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with His hand. [31] The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

Have you ever felt like maybe you haven’t heard the Lord correctly, and that you made the wrong decision in the path you chose?

Even in that beloved, the Father had His hand!

Proverbs 16:9
A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

He directs our steps! And for those who love Him and are the called according to His purposes, He causes all things to work out for His good purposes, even our wrong decisions!

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.

His children will walk in His steps of truth and righteousness! We follow our Shepherd and listen to His voice saying, “This way beloved.”

Psalm 85:11-13
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. Righteousness shall go before Him; and shall set us in the way of His steps.

John 10:27
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

His Word is a guide to us!

Psalm 119:133-135
Order my steps in Thy Word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep Thy precepts.

Make Thy face to shine upon Thy servant; and teach me Thy statutes.

His Word lights the way ahead, even in the deepest darkness! Keep in mind, a lamp only shows us the next few steps!

Psalm 119:105
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

His Word warns us to turn away from the path of wickedness!

Proverbs 4:11-12,14-15
I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

[14] Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

Even when the path ahead of you is unclear, and you can’t see the way, trust in Him, have faith in His promise that He is guiding you!

I’ve told you about the poster I had in my room as a teen. It said that faith is walking to the edge of all the light you have and taking one more step!

Take the next step beloved! Ask Him to show you the way!

Thank Him for His promise to guide you, and to walk with you, and to never leave your side!

Thank Him that His promise is that you will hear His voice guiding you! Keep your ears open, and your eyes on the path ahead! Keep your eyes on Him!

Follow the example of Jesus, Who for the joy set before Him kept walking, even in His darkest hour!

1 Peter 2:21
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps.
