ONE STEP

A dear friend of mine sent me a devotional in the mail the other day.  It was just what I needed to hear.  It was about our journey.  Much like that of a scavenger hunt we are all looking for clue after clue to follow.  When we reach one of our destinations we receive another clue and we are on our way. 

John 16:12-15  I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. 

This journey of life, the scavenger hunt, enables us to develop an ongoing relationship with Him.  We learn how to listen to the Holy Spirit so that we are led closer and closer to the treasure.  Most of the steps are a mystery and are unknown, but the reason for that is so that we can rely on the Holy Spirit to give us direction.  We listen for the voice to follow so that we will grow one step at a time.  These stepping-stones allow us to form a closer relationship with Him. 

Trust God to take the one step that lies before you.  Ask Him to lead you with one foot in front of the other.  Don’t worry about step 2, 3, 4 or 5, only focus on the 1.  Through this you will deepen your relationship with Him and bear fruit. 

Lord, we don’t need to know everything right now.  We want to grow in the love for you, grow in confidence and follow your voice.  Lead us one step at a time.
