Take the First Step

Adapted from Wake Up to the Word

For [God’s] eyes are upon the ways of a man, and He sees all his steps.

Today, I want to encourage you to do whatever God leads you to do. You may not have all the answers, and you may not know every step to take, but by faith you can take the first step. Maybe that step is:

  • Applying for a class at your local community college
  • Forgiving the person you’ve held a grudge against
  • Going to church for the first time in years
  • Making an appointment with a nutritionist
  • Sending out a résumé
  • Calling an adoption agency
  • Praying a bold prayer, asking God for what seems possible

You’ve waited, grieved, or made excuses long enough. Now it’s time to believe. Take a step and watch what God can do!

Prayer of the Day: Lord, please guide and direct me as I take the first step of faith and follow Your lead, always trusting in Your great plan for my life, amen.
