As you
obey what you know, you will be strengthened to take the next step and the
next. Step by step, one step at a time. That’s how we learn to walk with God.
But you
say, “Suppose I take the first step. What will happen next?” That’s God’s
business. Your task and mine is to obey this day and leave the future to Him.
The psalmist says our steps are “ordered by the Lord” (37:23). This day’s
direction is all we need. Tomorrow’s instruction is of no use to us at all.
George MacDonald said, “We do not understand the next page of God’s lesson
book; we see only the one before us. Nor shall we be allowed to turn the leaf
until we have learned its lesson.”
If we
concern ourselves with God’s will and obey each day the directions and warnings
He gives, if we walk by faith and step out in the path of obedience, we will
find that God will lead us through this day. As Jesus put it, “Tomorrow will
worry about its own things” (Matt. 6:34).
Blessed
is the person who finds out which way God is moving and then goes in that
direction. (RBC)
