A Step At A Time

"Every doing starts with a step."

It's the first thing I read when I get out of bed. 

A tweet from Proverbs 31 ministry. 

I didn't want to get up today. 

Sometimes when I open my eyes the impact hits all over again. 

I usually turn my first thoughts to God. 

At least I try. 

I try to thank Him for the day. 

To begin my day with a Christlike focus. 

Lately it's been about my emotions.

I wallow in what I have lost. I cry out for it to not be. 

This morning when I didn't want to take a step.

Those first words encouraged me. 

"Every doing starts with a step."

Not a final plan. Not all the answers. 

No well executed list or exquisitely planned event. 

Just a step.

Proverbs 16:9

In their hearts humans plan their course, 

but the LORD establishes their steps.

A step towards Gods word. A step toward the laundry. 

This journey continues to be heavy. 

But a step at a time is what is needed to stay the course.

Psalm 119:105

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

One step at a time today toward God's leading.
