One Step At A Time

Psalm 119:105- Your Word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.



I used to look at my relationship with God as Him having my back in everything. The picture in my mind was Jesus standing behind me with His hand on my shoulder, telling me which way to go. Recently, this has changed slightly- but with tremendous meaning. Instead of Jesus standing behind me, with me standing between Him and my world- I now see Jesus standing in front of me, standing between my world and myself.

In both scenarios, Jesus is guiding me. In the first, He is telling me where to go and what to do… In the second, He is leading me by the hand, going before me into every situation and circumstance, preparing the way. What a difference this small change in perspective makes! Not only do I not face the cares of this world alone; I don't even have to face them first. I don't have to lean on my own wisdom or strength. I don't have to navigate the road; I simply have to walk in the steps that He tells me.

I might not know the end from the beginning, but He does; and the verse above comforts me. He is walking with me, showing me where it is safe to step- and every safe step that I take following Him solidifies the truth that I can trust Him.

Would You help me today Lord, to keep my eyes on You? And for those that are feeling like the walls are closing in on them, would You open their eyes to see Your glory. In everything, our choice is to submit our will to Yours. Thank You for Your faithful grace that never ever leaves us alone!!!!!!
